Even the #WorldBank acknowledges that humanity has over-exploited the planet, gone beyond its safe boundaries, and that our economic system is to blame openknowledge.worldbank.org/server/api/c... Good start, but they mention nothing about the fact that we are too many doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...

I was tired of all the pro-natalist bullshit (even from the ABC), so we wrote a paper (preprint still) about the relationship between population growth, ageing, and the #economy No evidence ageing or declining populations compromise socio-economic performance of countries doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Distressing (but perhaps not surprising): New research finds that consideration of children's health and wellbeing is missing from most nation's climate action plans. @gchalliance.bsky.social @childfundalliance.bsky.social @savethechildren.org @world-j-pediatr.bsky.social
