Species are going extinct at a rate 1,000 times faster than that of the natural rate over the previous 65 million years (see Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical School).Since 2000, 6 million hectares of primary forest have been lost each year. That’s 14,826,322 acres, or just less than the entire state of West Virginia (see the 2010 assessment by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the UN).Even in the U.S., 15% of the population lives below the poverty line. How do we expect to feed that many people while we exhaust the resources that remain? Human activities are behind the extinction crisis. Public corporations are responding to consumer demand and pressure from Wall Street. Corporate capitalism is committed to the relentless pursuit of growth, even if it ravages the planet and threatens human health…’ comments
DEMOGRAFIA: l’IMPETUOSA CRESCITA DELLA POPOLAZIONE in Africa, India, nei Paesi in via di sviluppo, e le CULLE VUOTE dei Paesi ricchi – La NECESSITÀ di UN RIEQUILIBRIO MONDIALE per rimediare ai mutamenti climatici, alle tensioni sociali e allo squilibrio e Il mondo, noi, cresciamo come popolazione o no? O diminuiamo? Lo spettro dell’invecchiamo che si allarga sempre più nei paesi ricchi è cosa reale? E se sì che fare? Partiamo da un dato (secondo una ricostruzione del demografo dell’università Bicocca di Milano Gian Carlo Blangiardi) reso noto lo scorso mese di gennaio: nel 2015 l’Italia ha perso centocinquantamila abitanti, numero (considerevole) che si ottiene sommando il CROLLO DELLE NASCITE, l’AUMENTO DELLA MORTALITÀ, il CALO DELL’IMMIGRAZIONE, ma anche la FUGA DEGLI ITALIANI stessi, giovani e non solo, CHE SCELGONO ALTRE NAZIONI e altre realtà come dimora di vita. Partendo da un dato nazionale di forte calo della popolazione, ci sembra che in effetti la questione demografica (mondiale, europea, nazionale, locale…) sia un argomento, un tema, un po’ rimosso, che interessa poco. Fin qui alcuni degli EFFETTI dell’aumento demografico…. E come trattare l’elemento demografico? di Maria Novella De Luca, da “la Repubblica” del 16/1/2016 di F.
SCB - Statistiska centralbyrån - Markanvändning More voices mean smarter cities More voices mean smarter cities Governance for Development With the ink barely dry on the Sustainable Development Goals, naturally the just-completed Open Government Partnership annual summit focused on how greater openness can accelerate progress toward the goals. The open government agenda is most closely linked to the ambitious Goal 16 on Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, which among other targets includes the objective of ensuring “responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels.” Though progress in this area is maddeningly difficult to quantify, evidence increasingly shows that participation, the next transparency frontier, matters to development outcomes. Making the target explicit, it is hoped, will galvanize efforts in the right direction. There are many issues one could propose to tackle with citizen engagement strategies, but to narrow the topic of discussion, let’s consider just one: enabling smart growth in the world’s exploding cities and megacities.

Current Population is Three Times the Sustainable Level - World Population Balance - United States world environmentally sustainable population Global Footprint Network data shows that humanity uses the equivalent of 1.6 planet Earths to provide the renewable resources we use and absorb our waste.1 If all 7+ billion of us were to enjoy a European standard of living - which is about half the consumption of the average American - the Earth could sustainably support only about 2 billion people. It is crucial to understand that the longer we continue consuming more resources than the Earth can sustainably provide, the less able the Earth can meet our resource needs in the future - and the fewer people the planet can support - long-term. Evidence of unsustainable resource use is all around us. Global aquifers are being pumped 3.5 times faster than rainfall can naturally recharge them.2 Eventually they will run dry and hundreds of millions will suffer. Climate change will only add to the strain on the planet’s ability to support all 7+ billion of us. All of us want a viable, sustainable global home. 1 - “World Footprint”. 6 - A.J.
World Population Prospects - Population Division - United Nations The 2022 Revision of World Population Prospects is the twenty-seventh edition of official United Nations population estimates and projections that have been prepared by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat. It presents population estimates from 1950 to the present for 237 countries or areas, underpinned by analyses of historical demographic trends. This latest assessment considers the results of 1,758 national population censuses conducted between 1950 and 2022, as well as information from vital registration systems and from 2,890 nationally representative sample surveys The 2022 revision also presents population projections to the year 2100 that reflect a range of plausible outcomes at the global, regional and national levels. Additional outputs, including results from the probabilistic projections, and more detailed metadata will be posted soon after the initial public release. Quick Navigation

Debating the link between emissions and population There are those who perceive any effort to limit population growth as "population control." This is a term that chillingly evokes coercive state intervention to control individual reproductive behavior. Population control programs have rarely been implemented without exacting unacceptable ethical costs. But there's a big difference between coercive state-led population control programs and efforts to slow rapid population growth. Population size and composition are among the key drivers of climate change. Regions with the heaviest carbon footprints are experiencing slower population growth than other regions. Sub-Saharan Africa's carbon footprint is light. African policy makers do care about the region’s rapid rate of population growth—but climate change is by no means the top reason why. Political leaders are also concerned about population growth because they fear insecurity and instability. The second key policy initiative involves efforts to delay marriage and childbearing.
The Paris climate accord has been approved! Now here's what that actually means for you. For the first time in history, representatives of 195 nations agreed to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Rejoice! Hooray! GIF from "Captain Planet," obvi. Well. The so-called "Paris Agreement" was signed into effect Saturday evening, Dec. 12, 2015, after two weeks of grueling negotiations (and technically one day after what was supposed to have been the end of the Conference of the Parties, but that's OK). It is a landmark step in slowing the effects of climate change across the globe. GIF via MTV News/Kanye. While the historical importance of this cooperation is certainly worth celebrating, it's also an easy distraction from the more ... lackluster aspects of the climate deal. Imagine those 195 nations involved in the agreement are 195 friends who all went out for dinner one night. This magical button delivers Upworthy stories to you on Facebook: Now imagine the nightmare of trying to split the bill 195 ways. Let's just say there was a lot of compromise involved.
The Economist WITH the last votes from Myanmar’s farthest corners finally counted, the country’s electoral earthquake has been officially confirmed. On November 8th the National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Aung San Suu Kyi, won 77% of the seats on offer, while the ruling army’s proxy, the Union Solidarity and Development Party, only managed a humiliating 10%. Considering that Myanmar was ruled by a brutal military dictatorship just five years ago, and the NLD was banned, with many of its leaders in prison or under house arrest, this is an exhilarating turnaround. The NLD’s landslide gives it a majority in both houses of parliament, and puts it in pole position to pick the next president. Myanmar’s swift, albeit incomplete, transition from dictatorship to democracy is particularly heartening because of failures elsewhere. Fake it till you make it For most countries that attempt it, the shift from dictatorship to democracy seems as difficult as ever. Brazil and Mexico had similar experiences.
