"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that most of the warming of the past 50 years
is attributable to human activities, particularly greenhouse gas emissions from high-income countries,
and has identified population growth as an immediate driver of emissions.
Because population pressure increases emissions through the burning of fossil fuels, increased material
extraction, deforestation, industrial agriculture, and other manufacturing processes, it’s important to advocate
for policies that rapidly reduce those emissions and build resiliency in a changing climate, including the
advancement of gender equity and access to reproductive healthcare."
