Population Matters

Population Matters (PM) is a UK-based charity working globally to achieve a sustainable future for people and planet. 

Our Vision is a future in which a stable human population co-exists in harmony with nature and prospers on a healthy planet, to the benefit of all.

Our Mission is to drive positive, large-scale action through fostering choices that help achieve a sustainable human population and regenerate our environment. 

Our Approach is to campaign, inform, lobby, undertake research and do all we can to encourage an open, fair-minded and constructive debate about population. We promote positive, practical, ethical solutions – encouraging smaller families, inspiring people to consume sustainably, with the aim of enabling everyone to enjoy a decent quality of life whilst respecting and sustaining the natural ecosystems upon which all life on earth depends.

We believe everyone should have the freedom and ability to choose a smaller family. All our work is informed and guided by our commitments to human rights, women’s empowerment and global justice.
