While developed countries are largely responsible for global warming, the brunt of the fallout will be borne by the developing world, in lower agricultural output, poorer health, and more frequent natural disasters. Carbon emissions in the developed world have leveled off, but are projected to rise rapidly in the developing world due to their economic growth and population growth -- the latter most notably in the poorest countries. Lowering fertility has many benefits for the poorest countries. Studies indicate that, in high fertility settings, fertility decline facilitates economic growth and poverty reduction. It also reduces the pressure on livelihoods, and frees up resources to cope with climate change. And it helps avert some of the projected global warming, which will benefit these countries far more than those that lie at higher latitudes and/or have more resources to cope with climate change. Natural experiments indicate that family planning programs are effective in helping reduce fertility, and that they are highly pro-poor in their impact. While the rest of the world wrestles with the complexities of reducing emissions, the poorest countries will gain much from simple programs to lower fertility.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONACCESS TO CONTRACEPTIONACCESS TO CONTRACEPTIVE METHODSACCESS TO CONTRACEPTIVESACCESS TO FAMILY PLANNINGBIRTH CONTROLBIRTH RATESBULLETINCAPACITY BUILDINGCENSUSESCHANGE IN POPULATIONCHILD HEALTHCHILD MORTALITYCHILDBEARINGCHILDREN PER WOMANCLIMATE CHANGECOERCIONCOMMITTEE ON POPULATIONCOMMUNICATION EFFORTSCONTRACEPTIONCONTRACEPTIVE AVAILABILITYCONTRACEPTIVE INFORMATIONCONTRACEPTIVE METHODSCONTRACEPTIVE PREVALENCECONTRACEPTIVE USECULTURAL CHANGEDEMAND FOR CONTRACEPTIONDEMAND FOR FOODDEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITIONDEMOGRAPHIC TRENDSDEPENDENCY RATIOSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDISEASESDISSEMINATIONEARLY CHILDHOODECONOMIC CHANGEECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF POPULATIONECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC POLICIESEDUCATED WOMENEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEFFECTIVE FAMILY PLANNINGENVIRONMENTAL CHANGEENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEXCESS FERTILITYFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY PLANNING PROGRAMFAMILY PLANNING PROGRAMSFAMILY PLANNING SERVICESFAMILY SIZEFEMALE EDUCATIONFERTILITYFERTILITY DECLINEFERTILITY DECLINESFERTILITY RATEFERTILITY RATESFERTILITY TRANSITIONSFEWER BIRTHSFEWER CHILDRENFEWER PEOPLEFIRST BIRTHFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SECURITYFOREIGN POLICYFREE CONDOMSFREE CONTRACEPTIVESFUTURE GROWTHFUTURE POPULATIONGENOCIDEGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL POPULATIONGLOBAL POPULATION GROWTHGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSGREENHOUSE GASGROUNDWATERHEALTH POLICYHEALTH RISKSHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMSHOUSEHOLD LEVELHUMAN CAPITALHUSBANDSIMPACT OF EDUCATIONIMPACT OF FAMILY PLANNINGIMPACT OF POPULATIONIMPACT ON FERTILITYINDUSTRIALIZATIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTSINTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNINGINTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING PERSPECTIVESINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATIONJOB CREATIONLABOR FORCELABOR SUPPLYLARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLELEVEL OF FERTILITYLEVELS OF FERTILITYLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFETIME FERTILITYLIVING STANDARDSLOWER FERTILITYMARRIED WOMENMASS COMMUNICATIONMASS MEDIAMATERNAL HEALTHMEXICO CITY POLICYMIGRANTSMODERN METHODS OF CONTRACEPTIONMOMENTUM OF POPULATION GROWTHMORTALITYMOVEMENT OF PEOPLENATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCILNATIVISMNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL ENVIRONMENTNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESORAL CONTRACEPTIVESPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLLUTIONPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENTPOPULATION CHANGEPOPULATION CONFERENCEPOPULATION CONTROLPOPULATION CONTROL POLICIESPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION DYNAMICSPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATESPOPULATION INCREASEPOPULATION MOMENTUMPOPULATION POLICIESPOPULATION POLICYPOPULATION PRESSUREPOPULATION PROJECTIONSPOPULATION REFERENCE BUREAUPOPULATION SIZEPOPULATION STUDIESPOPULATION TRENDSPREGNANCIESPRESS RELEASEPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SERVICESRADIORAPID POPULATION GROWTHRATES OF GROWTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRESOURCE CONSTRAINTRESOURCE DEPLETIONRISING CONSUMPTIONRISING DEMANDRISK FACTORSRURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POPULATION GROWTHRURAL WOMENSCIENTIFIC STUDY OF POPULATIONSEA LEVELSEXUAL BEHAVIORSLOWER POPULATION GROWTHSLOWING POPULATION GROWTHSMALL FAMILIESSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL SCIENCESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTIONTEENAGERSTELEVISIONUNEMPLOYMENTUNITED NATIONS POPULATION DIVISIONUNWANTED CHILDRENURBAN SLUMSURBAN SQUATTERVICTIMSVULNERABILITYWARWATER RESOURCESWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWORLD POPULATIONYOUNG CHILDRENYOUNG WOMENWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-6631
