Controversial Study Urges Halving Earth's Population
A recent study concluded that gradually reducing the world's population to around 4 billion people by the year 2200 could enhance the sustainability of natural resources and decrease environmental pressures. The study pointed out that the current population increase—from about two billion to 8.3 billion people—along with rising resource consumption, contributes to environmental challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. It recommends adopting voluntary policies to achieve a managed and fair decline in population growth, which would help protect habitats and reduce harmful gas emissions. Additionally, some countries that experienced a population decline have seen improvements in economic indicators like GDP and wages.
