The Sierra Club's global population and environment program

About Our Program

Working with domestic and international coalition partners, we seek to accomplish our mission by:

  1. Increasing universal access to voluntary family planning services and comprehensive sex education.

  2. Advancing women's and girls' basic rights, including access to health care, education and economic opportunity.

  3. Promoting youth leadership.

  4. Raising public awareness of wasteful resource consumption in the context of social and economic equity.

The UN projects the world's population has reached 7 billion people as of October, 2011. Read about the ramifications of this marker for women, healthcare, agriculture, water, and our planet through the RH Reality Check series on 7 billion. Sierra Club leaders past and present reflect on our growing population and how best to support healthy and sustainable communities and environments moving forward.
