The United Nations'

help make this right a reality throughout the world.
Family planning is an important topic
raised during World Population Day.

What do people do?
World Population Day aims to increase
people’s awareness on various population issues such as the importance of
family planning, including gender equality, poverty, maternal health and human
rights. The day is celebrated worldwide by business groups, community
organizations and individuals in many ways. Activities include seminar
discussions, educational information sessions and essay competitions.
Public life
World Population Day is a global
observance and not a public holiday.
Background
In 1968 world leaders proclaimed that
individuals had a basic human right to determine freely and responsibly the
number and timing of their children. About 40 years later modern contraception
remains out of reach for millions of women, men and young people. World
Population Day was instituted in 1989 as an outgrowth of the Day of Five
Billion, marked on July 11, 1987. The UN authorized the event as a vehicle to
build an awareness of population issues and the impact they have on development
and the environment.
Since then, with the United Nations Population Fund's (UNFPA)
encouragement, governments, non-governmental organizations, institutions and individuals
organize various educational activities to celebrate the annual event.
Symbols
The UN logo is often associated with
marketing and promotional material for this event. It features a projection of
a world map (less Antarctica ) centered on the
North Pole, enclosed by olive branches. The olive branches symbolize peace and
the world map represents all the people of the world. It has been featured in
colors such as blue against a yellow background.

Spotlight on Adolescent Pregnancy
|
 |
11 July 2013
Complications
from pregnancy and child birth are the leading cause of death among the 16
million girls aged 15-19 who give birth each year, especially in developing
countries. Adolescent pregnancy is not
just a health issue, it is a development issue. To bring these issues to
global attention, this year’s World Population
Day is focusing on adolescent pregnancy.

Topic » Climate Change
During
the past 100 years, population growth has mirrored the growth of greenhouse
gases that cause climate change, with the vast majority of produced by
developed nations. But most of the effects of climate change are already being
experienced in developing countries. Governments of 37 least developed
countries have identified population growth as a factor that increases vulnerability
to climate change.
When women are empowered to plan and space their children, they
are better able to adapt to climate change and ensure the survival of their
families. In addition, slowing population growth could help reduce future
emissions. If the world’s population reaches 8 billion rather than 9.2 billion
in 2050, it could result in one to two billion fewer tons of carbon emissions.
Emissions reductions of this magnitude are equivalent to stopping all
deforestation.
As the world tries to solve climate change challenges, PAI is working to ensure that population
trends, gender considerations, and the global demand for contraception are not
left out of the discussion.

POPULATION, WATER, FOOD
“Water, Water, Nowhere.” By Theo Anderson. In
These Times (August 2013). As population increases
the world’s water supplies decrease, and it is unclear where the needed water
will come from. Apparently no nation
has a national conservation policy. In

What is PCI-Media Impact
doing to help slow population growth?
Media Impact, through its My Community programs, is
supporting powerful social movements in Central
and South America and the Caribbean
that address environmental conservation and family planning issues and
creates a voice for marginalized populations such as women, youth and
Indigenous to improve their living standards.
My Community trains leaders from grassroots organizations,
local governments, service providers and NGOs to increase the communication
capacity of their organizations to engage community members in social change
action; and to achieve the desired knowledge, attitude and behavior change
using Media Impact's unique grassroots approach. The program can potentially
reach over 4,000,000 people in Peru ,
Bolivia , Ecuador , Guatemala ,
Honduras , Colombia , Mexico
and the Eastern Caribbean .
Media Impact's My Community programs include:
Aqui no Pasa Nada in Cuzco ,
Peru
Alternativas Humanas in Ecuador (Nationwide)- This
coalition is leading a participatory youth oriented program that will give the
audience nationwide clear and scientific information about their sexuality,
with special interest on teen pregnancy prevention.

islands of Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, British Virgin Islands, Dominica,

Impact is facilitating a regional radio serial drama and community events to
weave together relevant information on family
planning and the effects of population growth on the environment with a
compelling story. The program will encourage women to take control of their
own fertility and family size to improve their quality of life.

Each year 18% of all births in Latin America and the Caribbean are to adolescent women ages 15-19.
Almost 3% of girls ages 15-19 throughout Latin
America were mothers before the age of 15.
Despite laws against child marriage in many countries, over
80 million girls in the developing world will be married before the age of 18.
Of Salvadorians with sexual experience, only 10% used contraceptives the first time they had
sexual relations.
The United Nations estimates that 40% of pregnancies around
the globe are unintended.
By the year 2015, the world's population is estimated to
exceed 7 billion. [! 7 billion 2013 --D]
Nearly 70 % of Bolivians live below the poverty level.
The annual incidence of AIDS per 100,000 people in Guatemala
rose from 1.9 in 2005 to 8.9 in 2007.
Living in vulnerable rural areas and urban slums, the
world's poorest billion people are highly exposed to climate change threats
for which they carry negligible responsibility.

health.
Did you know that the largest group of young women ever is
entering their childbearing years?
How can we prevent
the threats of population growth on the environment and society in general?
By providing
universal family planning and other reproductive health information and
services to young women and families, preparing them to make informed
decisions, a major impact can be made in population growth and it will give us
a fighting chance to meet the challenges of global warming.
Slowing population growth should not be our only concern;
the real objective is to improve the quality of life of everyone. In order to
do this, we must prioritize programs that advance sexual and reproductive
health, educate about HIV/AIDS and youth, promote gender and human rights,
environmental protection, education, employment and economic development.
