Population Matters is a UK-based NGO that works globally to confront one of the world’s most urgent yet overlooked challenges: the impact of human population growth on the environment.

Through evidence-based research and data-driven advocacy, we tackle the causes and effects of population growth and unsustainable resource consumption to build a fairer, more sustainable world for all populations. We deliver our mission through collaborative partnerships that enable individuals, organisations and policymakers to integrate population considerations into their work.

Note: we’re sorry but we do not pass on media requests to our patrons.
