A Pivotal Moment:
Population, Justice and the Environmental Challenge

“Here’s the book on population we’ve been waiting for–not a nativist screed that lays the blame for our environmental woes on overbreeding others, but a clearheaded and smart look at the ways that justice, anti-materialism, and women’s rights can help limit both our numbers and their impact.”

The GROWTH Act

Investing in women is one of the surest routes to end poverty in the developing world. The Global Resources and Opportunities for Women to Thrive Act (GROWTH) would make U.S. policy a driver of positive change for women around the world. Introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Congresswomen Lowey (D-NY) and Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), and in the U.S. Senate by Senators Durbin (D-IL) and Hutchison (R-TX), the GROWTH Act would remove a range of barriers that prevent women from participating actively in their countries’ economies.
