A rare video from 1994 shows David Rockefeller campaigning for depopulation, with a disturbing reference to the year 2020. The negative impact of population growth on Earth's ecosystems becomes alarmingly clear. The UN can and should play a crucial role in helping the world and finding a way to stabilize population growth, although there are concerns about advocating for depopulation and sterilization. Recent trends show an increase in deaths and a decline in birth rates.

Improved public health has led to a 60% decline in infant mortality and increased average life expectancy from 46 to 63 years. However, this has resulted in a rapid population growth, reaching almost 6 billion people and potentially exceeding 6 billion by 2020. The negative impact of this growth on ecosystems is evident, with increased exploitation of energy and water resources and dangerous levels of pollution. To ensure a decent life on our planet, nations must work together to address population growth, overconsumption, and environmental degradation. The recent UN meeting in Cairo focused on these issues, but controversies arose due to their divisive nature and moral implications. The United Nations can play a crucial role in stabilizing world population and promoting economic development.
Speaker 0: And herein lies the dilemma that we all face. Let me illustrate. Improved public health has caused the world's infant mortality rate to decline by 60% over the last 40 years. In the same period, the world's average life expectancy has increased from 46 years in 1950s to 63 years today. This is a development which as individuals we can only applaud.
However, the result of these positive measures is a world population that has risen during the same short period of time, geometrically, to almost 6,000,000,000 people and could easily exceed 6,000,000,000 by the year 2020. The negative impact of population growth on all of our planetary ecosystems is becoming appallingly evident. In particular, the rapid growing exploitation of the world's supply of energy and water is a matter of deep concern, and the toxic byproducts of widespread industrialization have increased as atmospheric pollution to dangerous levels. Unless nations will agree to work together to to these cross border challenges posed by population growth, overconsumption of resources, and environmental degradation, the prospects for a decent life on our planet will be threatened. The recent UN meeting in Cairo is appropriately focused on one of these key issues, population growth.
But the controversies which have erupted at the conference illustrate the problem of coming to grips with issues that are deeply divisive and which have a profound moral dimension. The United Nations can and should play an essential role in helping the world find a satisfactory way of stabilizing world population and stimulating economic development in a manner

The speaker discusses the need to balance population growth and economic development while considering religious and moral values. They highlight the importance of coordinating economic growth to improve living standards, but caution against the environmental threats posed by unchecked growth. The conference in Rio de Janeiro emphasized the concept of sustainable growth and global development. The private sector plays a key role in managing growth, but national governments and international bodies, including the United Nations, should also be involved. International trade is crucial for stimulating economic growth, and entities like the European Economic Community, NAFTA, APEC, and the World Trade Organization can contribute to ensuring sustainable development.
Speaker 0: In helping the world find a satisfactory way of stabilizing world population and stimulating economic development in a manner that is sensitive to religious and moral considerations. Economic growth is, of course, an inevitable corollary of a growing population and is essential to improve standards of living. But without careful coordination, unrestrained economic growth poses further threats to our environment. This was a major subject of discussion at the conference in Rio de Janeiro on the environment 2 years ago. The focus then was on sustainable growth and global development.
It was pointed out at The conference that growth is most efficiently managed by the private sector, but elation of the process by national governments and international bodies is also needed. And once again, United Nations should certainly be among the catalysts and coordinators of this process. But in addition, given the importance of unencumbered international trade in stimulating and facilitating economic growth, some of the newer economic entities such as the European Economic Community, NAFTA, APEC, and most importantly, now known as the World Trade Organization are probably best suited to play a major role in ensuring sustainable development.
