Rapid and geographically uneven population growth has placed mounting pressure on Earth's environmental resources — from water and food to land and biodiversity. Without proactive global coordination, these pressures will intensify in the regions where growth continues to accelerate.
While some countries and regions have implemented policies to slow population growth and manage its impacts, these efforts remain fragmented. Global frameworks are needed to prepare for continued demographic change and avert foreseeable human and environmental crises.
