Population Matters, formerly known as the Optimum Population Trust, is a UK-based charity[1] that addresses population size and its effects on environmental sustainability. It considers population growth as a major contributor to environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, resource depletion and climate change.[2][3][4] The group promotes ethical, choice-based solutions through lobbying, campaigning and awareness-raising.
