Registered Charity No: 1114109 (England & Wales).

Population Matters is one of the world’s foremost population charities campaigning for people and planet. We are growing the conversation to encourage an open and fair debate about population growth, our collective impact on Earth, and promoting the positive, non-coercive solutions that are available to enable a better future for all.

Why does population matter?

Population growth is one of the most important but neglected contributors to many of the major problems we’re experiencing: environmental threats as well as poverty, conflict, resource depletion and a poorer quality of life for many people – especially women and girls.

What’s the solution?

We promote positive, practical, ethical solutions: encouraging and enabling smaller families throughout the world and inspiring people who already have enough to consume more sustainably. Our aim is to enable everyone to enjoy an equal, decent quality of life whilst we respect and sustain the natural ecosystems upon which life on Earth depends.

The ultimate gift

With your help we can expand our campaign for a better future more effectively and with greater confidence for years to come. We promise to promote the benefits of choosing a smaller family, and support policy makers to include choice-based family planning in global strategies that will help save our planet and humanity’s future.

If you wish for a world where we can all thrive in harmony with nature, please consider leaving the ultimate legacy for future generations with a bequest to Population Matters in your will.
