Ask the U.N. and COP25 to Recommend Smaller Families

In the wake of the U.N.'s climate change report we are urging U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to make a statement on the need for smaller, more sustainable families.

As 11,000 climate scientists recently noted, promoting smaller families is crucial to the sustainability of the planet. Several studies have also confirmed the dire threat posed by climate change, including its impact on the increasing threat of pestilence and crop losses, the severity of hurricanes and other weather threats, and the degradation of all ecosystems on earth. Fair Start family planning is not only the most effective way to mitigate the dangers of climate change. It also addresses children's welfare crises such as poverty, inequality, hunger, disease, and threats of violence and terrorism.

A better family planning model would advance all 17 of the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals. All nations have a responsibility to act. Please add your name to urge the Secretary-General to speak out for sustainable family planning across the world.

Dear [elected official],

In the wake of the U.N.'s climate change report, we are asking that you issue an updated family planning statement.

We need a family planning model that explicitly promotes smaller, equitable and sustainable families. As you know, small changes in average fertility rates have massive impacts on population growth, and smaller families are the best way to confront climate change, as well as other related environmental crises.

Several new studies have confirmed the dire threat posed by climate change, including its impact on the increasing threat of pestilence and crop losses, the severity of hurricanes and other weather threats, and the degradation of all ecosystems on earth. Fair Start family planning is not only the most effective way to mitigate the dangers of climate change. It also addresses children’s welfare crises such as poverty, inequality, hunger, disease, and threats of violence and terrorism.

A better family planning model would advance all 17 of the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals. All nations have a responsibility to act. That’s why we are asking for your leadership in recommending smaller, more sustainable families across the world.
