The document discusses overpopulation and its effects on the environment. It identifies the main causes of overpopulation as poverty, poor contraceptive use, child labor, and reduced mortality rates. The effects of overpopulation include lack of water, lower life expectancy, extinction, and increased resource consumption. Some potential solutions proposed include better sex education, increased access to contraceptives, policy changes, and education about overpopulation. The conclusion states that overpopulation stands alongside climate change as one of the biggest threats facing humanity today.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Over the last half century the population of the world has
exploded. At the time of writing there are seven billion people on
the planet and this number is projected to grow in a short period
of time.
• Of all of the environmental challenges facing the planet today
overpopulation is one that sometimes slips under the radar.
Issues like pollution, climate change and water shortages all
seem to take precedence, but overpopulation is one of the main
contributors to many other environmental issues.

4. THE CAUSES
There are number of factors
that contribute to
overpopulation. These are the
leading causes:
Poverty

5. THE CAUSES
Poor Contraceptive
Use

6. THE CAUSES
Child Labor

7. THE CAUSES
Reduced Mortality
Rates

8. THE EFFECTS
Overpopulation can have a
number of effects, most of
which are negative as examined
below.
Lack of Water

9. THE EFFECTS
Lower Life Expectancy

10. THE EFFECTS
Extinction

11. THE EFFECTS
Resource
Consumption

12. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
So now we know more about
overpopulation and the effects it can
have, but what can be done about it?
There are a number of proposed
solutions.
Better Sex Education

13. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Access to
Contraceptives

14. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Changes in Policy

15. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Education on the
Subject

16. CONCLUSION
• Overpopulation is a crisis that potentially stands alongside
climate change as one of the biggest challenges facing humanity
today.
• Despite this, there is little in the way of education or dialog
relating to the issue, particularly in schools.
