Every community is affected by gender-based violence. Let’s stand together to raise awareness & take action. Read our latest report at bit.ly/3U0kTNE #behindcloseddoors #gbv

New data from our partners @afrobarometer and @POuagaPF reveal important insights into public attitudes on women’s autonomy in Francophone West Africa. This conversation explores how evidence can help shape policies that expand reproductive choice: newsecuritybeat.org/2026/07/unpack….

Pronatalist policies are on the rise worldwide, but they are failing the planetary health test. Learn why reproductive health and rights and access to education are among the most powerful investments we can make for a sustainable future. 🔗 whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/vi….

In the United States, the Center for Biological Diversity provides research and resources to illustrate how gender and racial factors contribute to climate vulnerability but are often overlooked. Learn more in our updated report: populationinstitute.org/resource/popul….

Understanding population dynamics is vital to understanding climate change vulnerability and adaptation planning. For example, the U.S. population has grown disproportionately faster in places exposed to climate hazards such as wildfires and hurricanes.

In Uganda, @RegenerateAfri has succeeded in policy advocacy efforts to ensure the inclusion of gender and sexual and reproductive health in the country’s Health National Adaptation Plan. Read more about Uganda in our updated report: populationinstitute.org/resource/popul….

Floods, droughts, and landslides are becoming more frequent in #Uganda, and a growing population means more people are at risk. 70% of the labor force depends on rain-fed agriculture, which is less predictable. Women and girls bear the greatest burden with the fewest resources.

@_PFPI has led efforts, for decades, at the community level to integrate natural resource management, reproductive health services, food security, and sustainable livelihoods. Read more about the Philippines in our updated report: populationinstitute.org/resource/popul….

As climate risks grow, so do pressures on the communities that rely directly on natural resources for their livelihoods. Climate change is expected to widen the existing income and wealth inequalities in the #Philippines.

@NigerJve organizes community dialogues that connect climate change, population dynamics, and resilience strategies, ensuring that community priorities inform the government’s formal climate commitments. Read more in our updated report: populationinstitute.org/resource/popul….

In Niger, 77 percent of girls are married before age 18. Increasing access to family planning and quality education are strategic, mutually reinforcing interventions that enhance self-determination for women and girls.

JAGO NARI, an NGO working in coastal areas of Bangladesh, engages women and girls in strengthening sexual and reproductive healthcare and gender-based violence prevention in cyclone shelters.

When natural disasters strike in #Bangladesh, women and girls bear the heaviest load: spikes in gender-based violence, interrupted school attendance, early marriage, and lost access to maternal healthcare. Protecting their rights IS climate action.

Rapid population growth can intensify exposure to climate hazards, strain food and water systems, and limit the capacity of communities to adapt. But when the health and rights of women and girls are integrated into climate change adaptation strategies, everyone benefits.

📝 Hot off the press! The Population Institute has released an updated report that examines the intersections of population trends, gender equity, reproductive health, and climate change vulnerability.

They influence governance, security, stability, and natural resource management; and, importantly, they can shed light on persistent social inequities.

Happy #WorldPopulationDay! 🌍 Changes in population size, composition, and distribution are unfolding in vastly different ways around the world, and they have significant implications for needed investments in infrastructure, health, education, and the care economy.

❌Myth: Our global population is declining. 📈Fact: Global population is not projected to peak until the mid-2080s when it is expected to reach around 10.3 billion people. Data matters and so does #WorldPopulationDay.
