Overpopulation

Over population has became one of the main problems of the 21st century, the birth rate has increased more in a few decades than it has done all along the history and it is highly possible that it continues growing even more. At the moment almost 8 billion people live in this world.

This is concerning for scientists who study climate change and our environment due to this is one of the causes of that. They declare that we must do something. Every single person needs a lot of space and resources to live -water, food, home, installations such as schools, hospitals...- so their impact in our planet is huge.
So as at this point is obvious, the consequences of overpopulation is the lack of resources in our planet.

We can hardly do anything to solve this problem but the two thing I can think of to help this are: firstly reduce our consume and impact, It is estimated that we would need one and a half planets Earth to satisfy our demandings at the moment. We are taking a 50% more the Earth can produce.

And Secondly is to giving women around the world a proper sex education and contraceptions to give them their right to choose if they want to have a children or not.

To sum up this is a problem to take into consideration when we are talking about climate change because it is highly affecting it but it doesn't seem to be equally treated as that.
