Dear John,
It's very nearly the end of 2022 and - with the support of our dedicated
members and supporters - Population Matters has had quite the year!
In JANUARY we started with an op-ed feature on CNN rebutting comments from
Pope Francis and cut through the winter gloom with a spotlight on our
Choice Ambassadors whose young voices inspire us. FEBRUARY had a global
policy focus, featuring new United Nations (UN) reports on our food
systems and the latest 'Frontiers' report from the environment programme.
MARCH brought joy with Florence Blondel's reflections on motherhood and the
start of a brand new population conversation in Kenya.
Come APRIL, we were reporting on our Empower to Plan project in Colombia
and launched our new digital Population Explorer tool. MAY brought a
celebration of our Patron Sir David Attenborough's birthday and the launch
of our new HumaNature biodiversity campaign. JUNE saw us joining the chorus
of concern when Roe v. Wade was overturned in the USA, whilst for JULY's
World Population Day we brought together activists across the world to
respond to the latest UN population projections, and celebrated our Change
Champions for a second year.
We awarded Elon Musk a fake news award and published a report rebutting all
his population 'facts' in AUGUST, while SEPTEMBER brought the news that
gender equality is still 86 years away and we launched our first campaign
on consumption. OCTOBER brought us back to nature with the release of the
latest Living Planet report ahead of NOVEMBER's focus on the 8 billion
milestone (including 270 media mentions), whilst also talking all things
family planning at an international conference in Thailand.
Now it's almost the end of DECEMBER and we're putting the finishing touches
on our annual report and surveys, whilst very much looking forward to
recharging our batteries over the Christmas break!
It's been a busy year and a challenging one, especially in the face of
economic instability. Charities like ours are feeling the pinch and we know
you are too, but we couldn't have achieved nearly as much without your
support. Thank you for being here with us, through the good news and the
bad.
There's so much more to do in the New Year and we'll be keeping the
population conversation going: talking about climate change, women's
rights, the sixth mass extinction, consumption in the Global North, family
planning and so much more.
Please, if you do feel able to support our work with a donation (however
small or large) we can start 2023 in a strong position with you alongside
us, to grow the population conversation and help make a better future
possible.
Please donate today [3]
Thank you very much again for all your support, and best wishes for the
festive season on behalf of the whole team.
