We were thrilled to host Nandita Bajaj, Executive Director of Population Balance, to examine the roles of population growth and over-consumption in today’s most pressing global crises—climate change, resource scarcity, species extinction, and biodiversity collapse.
While leading scientific authorities recognize these connections, there has been widespread dismissal of the consequences of population growth within major global agencies, particularly the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). Nandita highlighted how this denial undermines the UN’s objectives surrounding human rights and sustainable development.
