HUMAN OVERPOPULATION ATLAS

Have we already exceeded the limits of sustainability of our planet? João Abegão, PhD student in Climate Change and Policies for Sustainable Development, presents evidence that we urgently need to change some behaviours to ensure sustainability and our lifestyle. João Abegão é mestre em Ecologia e doutorando em Alterações Climáticas e Políticas para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável, discursou na Cimeira do Clima da ONU em 2019 e é autor do Human Overpopulation Atlas. Estuda os limites da sustentabilidade e questiona se já teremos ou não ultrapassado os limites da própria sustentabilidade da Terra. Dedica-se à investigação sobre o impacto do ser humano no planeta. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

A discussion about human overpopulation hosted by the most prestigious engineering university of Portugal. With yours truly, population ethicist Karin Kulhemann, professor Philip Cafaro, among others.

A stance on freedom of speech and the applicability of the scientific method on subjects most of us feel discomfort addressing. If you disagree with my views or stances projected on this video, challenge me and argue for the reasons why, I am totally open for debate, it will be very helpful for the road I intend to walk on. There was still a lot I wanted to say, but that was as much as I could do on a non-edited video. Share it if you think there is potential for discussion. Kind regards.

My lecture of "Human Population Atlas Review" at the Scientific Meeting for Young Researchers at Porto, Portugal. Human Population Atlas Review is a compilation of literature that means to shine a light on the overpopulation problem while establishing an urgent need for a debate between several areas such as the environmental sciences, ecology. geography, demography, philosophy and ethics, law, policymaking, immigration specialists, among others. The work will be available this summer after peer review process.

Taking into account that immigration is now the main driver of population growth in the European continent the United States and Australia (for example), should the quotas of international migrants to developed nations be reduced in order to curtail the environmental damage caused by the increase of already large ecological footprints of those nations?

Due to technical difficulties during the actual thesis defence, I opted to record the presentation again for everyone to have access to it. I also added English subtitles in the video instead of making another one entirely. You can access the site and download the Powerpoint presentation at www.overpopulationatlas.com. Enjoy!

Produced and Directed by Stuart Scott, and recorded at COP25 in Madrid, Spain, on December 6, 2019, this was as far as we know the only formal event at the UN climate negotiations where human overpopulation was even discussed! Our burgeoning human population constitutes a major 'elephant in the room'. It is politically incorrect to even discuss the question of population while at the same time how many of us there are is obviously one of the most relevant drivers of climate change and the general ecological breakdown that is being experienced around the world. #Overpopulation #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency
