This article discusses the connection between population growth and the climate crisis. It highlights how the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child failed to address the implications of unchecked population growth on environmental sustainability. The article emphasizes the importance of integrating reproductive rights with environmental sustainability and suggests non-coercive methods, such as empowering women and girls, to lower fertility rates and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also calls for a shift from growth-centric models to sustainable practices that prioritize equity and human well-being over GDP growth. Additionally, the article argues for birth equity and reparations as a means to address the climate crisis and ensure a healthy and sustainable future for all children.
