New policy-based population projections illustrate this for the United States. Expansive immigration policies could increase the US population by hundreds of millions by 2100, while more restrictive policies could lead to population stabilisation or significant reductions. For the US, there is no plausible high-immigration path to a sustainable population. Because larger populations increase human environmental impacts, sustainability advocates in the US and other countries with high net immigration levels have strong prima facie reasons to support immigration reductions. Such reductions could achieve smaller populations in receiver countries and encourage smaller populations in sender countries, contributing to global ecological sustainability.</p></description> <dc:creator>Philip Cafaro</dc:creator> <dc:rights> Copyright (c) 2022 Philip Cafaro https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 </dc:rights> <cc:license rdf:resource="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" /> <dc:date>2024-12-18</dc:date> <prism:publicationDate>2024-12-18</prism:publicationDate> <prism:volume>8</prism:volume> <prism:number>2</prism:number> <prism:doi>10.3197/JPS.63799977346498</prism:doi> </item> <item rdf:about="https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1206"> <title>Population Dynamics, Economic Growth and Planetary Boundaries</title> <link>https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1206</link> <dc:creator>David Samways</dc:creator> <dc:rights> Copyright (c) 2024 David Samways https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 </dc:rights> <cc:license rdf:resource="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" /> <dc:date>2024-07-30</dc:date> <prism:publicationDate>2024-07-30</prism:publicationDate> <prism:volume>8</prism:volume> <prism:number>2</prism:number> <prism:startingPage>5</prism:startingPage> <prism:endingPage>14</prism:endingPage> <prism:doi>10.3197/JPS.63799977346496</prism:doi> </item> <item rdf:about="https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1188"> <title>Population, consumption and climate colonialism</title> <link>https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1188</link> <description><p>Strategies for combatting climate change that advocate for human population limitation have recently been understandably criticised on the grounds that they embody a form of ‘climate colonialism’: a moral wrong that involves disproportionately shifting the burdens of climate change onto developing nations (which have low per capita emissions but high fertility rates) in order to offset burdens in affluent nations (which have high per capita emissions but low fertility rates). This article argues that once the relevance of population growth to climate change has been correctly understood as working in tandem with consumption levels, this objection fails as a general criticism. Moreover, even if population could be ignored as a variable, the climate colonialism charge would re-emerge in a different form, since, at present population sizes, it would be environmentally catastrophic for developing nations to reach the production ambitions which see their per capita emissions massively increase. Even if emission reductions in affluent nations are (rightly) prioritised, there are good reasons to prevent enormous growth of emissions in developing countries. Those environmental risks become much greater given developing nations’ projected population increases in the coming century. The article then explores how the necessary radical environmental policies pertaining to fertility rates might be enacted in non-coercive ways, reducing the sting of the ‘climate colonialism’ charge. The article ends by considering some reasons to be moderately sceptical about such policies.</p></description> <dc:creator>Patrick Hassan</dc:creator> <dc:rights> Copyright (c) 2022 Patrick Hassan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 </dc:rights> <cc:license rdf:resource="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" /> <dc:date>2024-12-03</dc:date> <prism:publicationDate>2024-12-03</prism:publicationDate> <prism:volume>8</prism:volume> <prism:number>2</prism:number> <prism:doi>10.3197/JPS.63799977346497</prism:doi> </item> <item rdf:about="https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1142"> <title>Confronting the United Nations’ Pro-growth Agenda</title> <link>https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1142</link> <description><p>In this article, we enjoin the United Nations (UN) to forge a path out of our plight of multiple environmental and social crises. With other analysts, we identify ‘overshoot’ – the state in which humanity has substantially outpaced Earth’s capacity to regenerate its natural systems and to absorb our waste output – as the root cause of the existential threats we face. This dangerous condition demands rethinking our relationship with Earth and embarking on scaling down the human enterprise within policy frameworks of equity and rights. We argue that when the UN first articulated its international unity and prosperity mission, it did so within a ‘growth’ paradigm that treats Earth and its nonhuman inhabitants as mere resources at humanity’s disposal. The 1994 Cairo Conference on Population and Development reinforced this agenda, with its sharp turn away from the earlier emphasis on population concerns and their link to environmental protection. Today, it is clear that the UN’s foundational goals of peace, human rights and sustainability flounder within a growth-driven framework of human exceptionalism and nature domination. To correct course and reverse our advanced state of ecological overshoot we urge the UN to lead in contracting the large-scale variables of the human enterprise – population, economy, technosphere – and to resist co-optation by political, ideological and special interest pressures that would derail this mandate.</p></description> <dc:creator>Nandita Bajaj</dc:creator> <dc:creator>Eileen Crist</dc:creator> <dc:creator>Kirsten Stade</dc:creator> <dc:rights> Copyright (c) 2024 Nandita Bajaj, Eileen Crist, Kirsten Stade https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 </dc:rights> <cc:license rdf:resource="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" /> <dc:date>2024-07-30</dc:date> <prism:publicationDate>2024-07-30</prism:publicationDate> <prism:volume>8</prism:volume> <prism:number>2</prism:number> <prism:startingPage>15</prism:startingPage> <prism:endingPage>44</prism:endingPage> <prism:doi>10.3197/JPS.63799977346495</prism:doi> </item> <item rdf:about="https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1107"> <title>Public Understanding, Conflict and Power in the Population and Sustainability Nexus</title> <link>https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1107</link> <dc:creator>David Samways</dc:creator> <dc:rights> Copyright (c) 2024 David Samways https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 </dc:rights> <cc:license rdf:resource="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" /> <dc:date>2024-01-17</dc:date> <prism:publicationDate>2024-01-17</prism:publicationDate> <prism:volume>8</prism:volume> <prism:number>2</prism:number> <prism:startingPage>5</prism:startingPage> <prism:endingPage>12</prism:endingPage> <prism:doi>10.3197/JPS.63799977346491</prism:doi> </item> <item rdf:about="https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1011"> <title>Evaluation of Circular Srategies and their Effectiveness in Fashion SMEs in Ghana</title> <link>https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/1011</link> <description><p>Circular economy strategies may appear practical for business but are complex in application. Country-specific situations, taking into consideration the cultural dimensions, aid the practicality of such strategies. As part of a longitudinal research, this study sought to identify and evaluate circular strategies that could be integrated into selected fashion SMEs in Ghana. An in-depth qualitative case study was adopted to engage nineteen owner-designers of SMEs through interviews and observations. The owner-designers must have formal businesses, have been running their retail stores during the last decade and operate within the two major cities in Ghana where population growth supports economic activities. Life extension strategies were adopted for the study. The indications were that the majority of owner-designers of fashion SMEs, although practicing some circular strategies unknowingly, were not motivated to formally integrate the practice into their businesses. Cost, time, labour and consumer attitudes and behaviour were factors considered to undermine the effectiveness of adopting and implementing circular strategies in these firms. Creation of awareness of circular strategies and models for their implementation are needed to enable practitioners to imbibe circular economy principles in fashion SMEs in Ghana.</p></description> <dc:creator>Akosua Mawuse Amankwah</dc:creator> <dc:creator>Edward Appiah</dc:creator> <dc:creator>Charles Frimpong</dc:creator> <dc:creator>dos Santos Aguinaldo</dc:creator> <dc:rights> Copyright (c) 2022 Akosua Mawuse Amankwah, Professor Edward Appiah, Professor Charles Frimpong, Professor Aguinaldo dos Santos https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 </dc:rights> <cc:license rdf:resource="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" /> <dc:date>2024-07-30</dc:date> <prism:publicationDate>2024-07-30</prism:publicationDate> <prism:volume>8</prism:volume> <prism:number>2</prism:number> <prism:startingPage>45</prism:startingPage> <prism:endingPage>75</prism:endingPage> <prism:doi>10.3197/JPS.63799977346493</prism:doi> </item> <item rdf:about="https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/997"> <title>Scientists’ Warning on the Problem with Overpopulation and Living Systems</title> <link>https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/997</link> <description><p>A biological system can be defined as a collection of interacting elements, organised together with a common function(s). This framework can provide valuable insights into the problematic interactions between humanity and the rest of life on earth. Life is composed of a nested hierarchy of systems, united into a vastly complex, global system of ecosystems, the biosystem. The function of the biosystem and its components is the sustainable reproduction and evolution of life. Humans have many of their own systems, including a global, commercially oriented system of corporations and social structures, which we term the corposystem. A major aim of the corposystem is endless growth for profit, which depends on endless human population growth: not sustainable on a finite planet. These two global systems are clearly in direct conflict. To preserve the biosystem, including humanity, we must align the corposystem ethic with the reality of the biosystem’s needs.</p></description> <dc:creator>Lynn Lamoreux</dc:creator> <dc:creator>Dorothy Bennett</dc:creator> <dc:rights> Copyright (c) 2022 Dr. M.
