Population needs to be stabilised for sustainable development.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have just joined the Board of the Population Institute because I am convinced that early stabilization of the world's population is important for the attainment of this objective.
Sustainable development requires human ingenuity. People are the most important resource.
Sustainable development is the pathway to the future we want for all. It offers a framework to generate economic growth, achieve social justice, exercise environmental stewardship and strengthen governance.
We can survive as a population only if we conserve, develop sustainably, and protect the world's resources.
Our planet's lands and oceans are already stretched to meet the demands of 7 billion people. The human population continues to grow. The search for sustainable solutions is an economic and a moral imperative if we are to create the future we want.
I meet so many that think population growth is a major problem in regard to climate change. But the number of children born per year in the world has stopped growing since 1990. The total number of children below 15 years of age in the world are now relatively stable around 2 billion.
Stability is necessary for our future economic success.
We need to continue to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet can't support many more people.
I support population control. I think USA should do the same.
You want stability in the world, you have to start with values.
