Rapid and widespread changes in the world’s human population, coupled with unprecedented levels of consumption present profound challenges to human health and wellbeing, and the natural environment, according to a report from the Royal Society. It provides an overview of how global population and consumption are linked, and the implications for a finite planet. A number of recommendations are made, including the need for Governments to realise the potential of urbanisation to reduce material consumption and environmental impact through efficiency measures; and for natural and social scientists to increase their research efforts on the interactions between consumption, demographic change and environmental impact.
