The Global Population and Environment Program's mission is to protect the global environment and preserve natural resources for future generations by advancing global reproductive health and sustainable development initiatives.
Working with domestic and international coalition partners, we seek to increase universal access to voluntary family planning services and comprehensive sex education; advance women's and girls' basic rights, including access to health care, education and economic opportunity; promote youth leadership; and raise public awareness of wasteful resource consumption in the context of social and economic equity.

Join our nationwide campaign, the Population Justice Environmental Challenge, by signing our petition to renew U.S. global leadership on human rights, community health, gender equality and environmental protection. By working together as global citizens, we can create a world that is equitable, sustainable and just. Take Action Today!
The One Voice Summit is a free three-day training and policy retreat for youth activists who are interested in environmental and reproductive justice issues domestically and globally. The Summit provides a forum for participants to gather and share information relevant to the intersections of sexual and reproductive health and the environment through a human rights framework; build skills on how to work with the media, policy maker education, community organizing, and advocacy; and discuss and commit to actions that they will take in their own communities to advance reproductive and environmental justice. Finally, the Summit culminates with a policy maker education day during which participants meet with their Members of Congress to request support for domestic and international policies supportive of evidence-based sexual and reproductive health programming. Please submit applications to kimberly.lovell@sierraclub.org by Friday, February 26.
Our Nationwide PJE Book Tour in fall 2009 was a huge success! We reached over 600 people with 17 events throughout California, Oregon, Washington, Virginia, DC, Pennsylvania, and New York, highlighting a new book edited by Laurie Mazur titled A Pivotal Moment: Population, Justice and the Environmental Challenge. Next Spring, Sierra Club staff will continue our successful book tour outreach around the country. Contributing authors as well as international youth leaders will be available for speaking events including workshops, panel presentations, and leadership trainings. Email population@sierraclub.org today to request a presentation on your campus or in your community!
