The Importance of Population for Climate Change Challenges and Solutions
June 8, 2009
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. It has been historically driven by an atmospheric build-up of greenhouse gases (GHGs) generated mostly by the industrialized world. The consequences of climate change-more intense hurricanes and typhoons, rising sea levels, drought, heat waves, major disruptions to agriculture-will be felt by communities around the world.

Reproductive Health Supplies in Six Countries
June 3, 2009
Reproductive Health Supplies in Six Countries: Themes and Entry Points in Policies, Systems and Funding, identifies the challenges faced by reproductive health programs in Bangladesh, Ghana, Mexico, Nicaragua, Tanzania, and Uganda. Funding constraints, combined with a weak commitment to prioritize the purchase of reproductive health supplies on the side of the recipient countries and a limited capacity for distribution, have created an unstable environment for supplies worldwide. The report, and its six associated case studies, calls for renewed attention to reproductive health supplies to avoid putting the health of millions of women at risk.
How Do Recent Population Trends Matter To Climate Change?
April 30, 2009
Population growth is one of the driving forces behind the growth of greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change, along with economic growth and technological change. Rapid population growth also hinders socioeconomic development and increases human vulnerability to the devastating impacts of climate change. Population Action International’s new working paper “How Do Recent Population Trends Matter to Climate Change?” is the first in a three-part series that will deepen understanding of the relationships between population and climate change.

Chances are that few of the 300,000 people in Nairobi's Mathare Valley had ever heard of the Mexico City Policy. These residents of one of Africa's worst slums just knew that the only clinic providing them with malaria treatments, child checkups, and immunizations had shut its doors for lack of funding.

Re-Costing Cairo: Revised Estimate of the Resource Requirements to Achieve the ICPD Goals
March 3, 2009
In 1994 the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo produced estimates of the resource requirements to achieve universal access to a range of population-related programs. It was estimated that by the year 2010, it would cost US$29.2 billion annually in current dollars to achieve the costed interventions of the ICPD by 2015.By 2008 a consensus developed that the 1994 ICPD cost estimates were out of date. Escalating need, rising drug and supply costs, and the scale of the resources needed to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic undermined the relevance of the original estimates.There was also a need to integrate post-1994 information regarding the set of interventions that made up a complete package of reproductive health services, the status of this care in developing countries, and also its cost and current needs.
