About Population Matters
"All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people, and harder - and ultimately impossible - to solve with ever more people."
Sir David Attenborough, Population Matters patron
Our vision is of a future with decent living standards for all, on a healthy, biodiverse planet.
Through our campaigning, advocacy and education work we influence policymakers, communities and individuals to make positive changes for a sustainable human population.
