The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to achieve decent lives for all on a healthy planet by 2030. Despite the pledges, fine words and some successes, the reality is that unless things change, many of those goals won't be achieved - meaning continued lives of desperation and deprivation for hundreds of millions of people, and no end to the devastation of our planet. That can be no surprise while global population growth continues to fuel overexploitation of nature, environmental destruction and unsustainable demand for land,
food, water and energy, while large families still trap the poorest in poverty. To meet the SDGs, the international community must tackle population, ethically and effectively. We have the solutions - what's missing is the political will to implement them. A UN call for smaller families would get global attention and help put population action onto the international policy agenda. With your support, we can create the momentum needed to give everyone the security and dignity we all deserve, and to protect
our beautiful planet. Will you support our call?
