The report argues that addressing population concerns is critical to meeting the Millennium Development Goals of cutting global poverty and hunger in half by 2015, reducing maternal and child deaths, curbing HIV/AIDS, advancing gender equality and promoting environmentally sustainable development.

According to the 20th anniversary edition of the World Watch Institute's award-winning report, scaling up recent successes in curbing infection, increasing the income of the poor, and advancing the use of renewable energy, among others, would soon put the world’s economy on a more sustainable path.
