Optimum Population

Biography

The Optimum Population Trust is the leading think tank in the UK concerned with the impact of population growth on the environment.


OPT research covers population in relation to climate change, energy, resources, biodiversity, development impacts, ageing and employment and other environmental and economic issues.


It campaigns for stabilisation and gradual population decrease globally and in the UK.


Blog Information

The blog of the Optimum Population Trust is a particularly niche affair, but for those with an interest in these matters it will be invaluable.


The Trust, whose patron is David Attenborough, campaigns on halting population growth. One of its big ideas is to call on parents to limit their number of children to two.


The posts here are informative, primarily because it is so focused and the issue is substantially out of the limelight.


There are some fascinating insights here, such as statistics around China's population. But the issue is simply too niche, and for many too sensitive, for the blog to appeal to many people.
