Overpopulation is one of the main issues that human is facing today. It is becoming a problem for people of all races, religions and nationalities. According to the BBC, there were approximately 7.2 billion people on the planet in the year 2016. However, the world cannot grow any larger, yet the human population keeps growing every year. We must slow the increase of our world’s population before our resources become insufficient and rapidly decreases our quality of life. The issue of overpopulation
“Overconsumption and overpopulation underlie every environmental problem we face today.” (Jacques Yves Cousteau). What he means in this quote is simply more people create more problems in this word. Overpopulation alone can cause many complications like poverty, world hunger, lower the standard of living, cause a growing unemployment rate and drain the planet of its natural resources. These are all problems on their own but if traced back far enough can all lead to overpopulation. This issue isn't the
Committee: ECOSOC Topic: Overpopulation Country: Brazil Background Overpopulation is when an environment can no longer handle the stress put on its resources by a society. Today the human population is growing close to Earth’s carrying capacity, which is estimated to be just short of 10 billion. As of 2015 the Earth’s population has been estimated to be about 7.37 billion, this number increasing each day. At the rate the human population is growing we should reach around 10 billion by the
solution to overpopulation. For example, spreading awareness, limiting the number of children allowed to have by a couple, education in schools about overpopulation and enacting birth control regulations. There is only one that has made a difference, couples are allowed just one child. China is the only country that has this policy so far. The one-child policy was established in 1979. It meant that each couple was allowed just one child. Benefits included increased access to education for all, plus

scrutiny and the conscience of the world. (Shah, 2013). Poverty is the deprivation in well-being where the poor have insufficient income and are on the margin of bare subsistence. Poverty concerns various aspects, namely hunger, lack of shelter and education where people are unable to fulfil basic necessities of life. In response to the consequences triggered by poverty, including genocide and increased death rates, Shaw (1906) stated “the greatest of all evils and the worst of all crimes is poverty”

that thanks to technology. But, also thanks to better technology, humans have been living longer lives and reproducing more which can cause overpopulation. Overpopulation (as the name suggests) is where the number of existing human population exceeds the earths carrying capacity and essentially causes there too be too many people in the world. Overpopulation isn’t just because that we would like to reproduce more, its actually quiet more than that. First off is that there can be a decline in death
Plenty”, Montgomery argues for American solitude, because in his opinion, Americans are not responsible for other humanity. Montgomery claims that overpopulation is destroying the earth. He says that the only way to stop the eradication of the earth is to stop population growth by ceasing aid in less developed countries (LDCs). Montgomery is right, overpopulation is an issue, however the methods he suggests to solve the problem are wrong. All humans deserve to live, and there is huge potential among the
