    Joseph Speidel on Population, the Environment, and Growth

    September 16, 2010 By Wilson Center Staff
    “If we could do something about unintended pregnancies – which are about 80 million a year – we could dramatically reduce population growth,” and reduce pressure on the environment, says Joseph Speidel in this short analysis from the Environmental Change and Security Program. Speidel discusses the connections between population, health, and environment issues, and offers solutions for the way forward.

    The “Pop Audio” series offers brief clips from ECSP’s conversations with experts around the world, sharing analysis and promoting dialogue on population-related issues. Also available on iTunes.
    Topics: climate change, consumption, demography, environment, family planning, Friday Podcasts, livelihoods, maternal health, natural resources, podcast, population

      Joe spoke at the Wilson Center last year as an author to the Making the Case publication.
