“…Sustainable development relates to the already-mentioned analysis on the conflict between ecological sustainability and socioeconomic sustainability (Kristensen, 2020). Globalism relates to initiatives that connect development programmes to the issue of overpopulation (Mayhew et al, 2020). Biologism relates to the concept of demopopulationism, which includes "continued attempts to suppress the fertility of some and enhance the fertility of others" (Bhatia et al, 2020, p. 337).…”

Over the past decade, the choice of living childfree has increasingly been viewed as a pro-environmental behaviour. Recent research has investigated statistical relations between environmental concern and reproductive attitudes, as well as exploring the processes around actually deciding to live environmentally childfree. Based on increased public attention about the phenomenon, this article employs Michael Billig’s notion of ideological dilemmas to analyse the media coverage of choosing to live environmentally childfree, attempting to answer how these dilemmas influence whether living childfree is perceived as a relevant pro-environmental behaviour. Thirty-one news items were analysed using a synthesis of critical discursive psychology and thematic analysis. The analysis identified five ideological concepts: liberalism, sustainable development, globalism, biologism and humanism. Each of these concepts contains positions supporting and opposing the idea of living environmentally childfree in Norway. These ideological dilemmas seem to weaken the perceived relevance of living environmentally childfree, as the topic is easily dismissed or framed as irrelevant. I therefore conclude that the discourse of living environmentally childfree is analogous to how society generally relates to solutions to the environmental crises.

“…Mayhew et al (2020) underline the importance of the integrated health‐environment approach for achieving global sustainable development goals and emphasize health interventions as important strategies to achieve environmental and social outcomes. Singleton et al (2019) found that by improving the right to healthcare, environmental NGOs may be able to improve community engagement in marine resource management by removing the barrier of poor health.…”

“…Thereafter, the services and interventions identified by these hearings were provided to the five pillars that underlie the CC. Based upon community identified solutions to challenges the five pillars that uphold the model are: Community health: the People‐ Health ‐Environment (PHE) approach aims to improve community health through health advocacy and improve access to basic services (see Mayhew et al, 2020). The PHE approach is intended to remove the barrier of poor health that often limits community engagement in marine conservation (see Singleton et al., 2019).…”

“…Though well-meaning, this approach has unintended consequences for vulnerable populations, including women and girls. Upholding women's rights is essential but the reluctance to address the linkages between these two topics limits funding and hinders progress towards environmental sustainability and population health (Mayhew et al, 2020).…”

How Can Girls’ Education and Family Planning Improve Community Resilience to Climate Change in the Sahel?

Population growth and climate change are currently the two greatest threats to food security in the Sahel region of Africa. The population of the countries that make up the Sahel is projected to nearly double by 2050, from 506 million to 912 million. Paired with the expected rise in temperature and increased frequency of extreme climatic events, these numbers could quickly overwhelm relief efforts. Strengthening human capital and economic stability are critical to prevent catastrophic suffering. This article recommends two evidence-based approaches that expand women’s autonomy and support their income-earning potential while building resilience to climate change. The first recommendation, would be greater investments in adolescent girls’ education and autonomy, including efforts to delay marriage and childbearing. The second calls for an improvement in the availability and quality of reproductive health services, with a special focus on voluntary family planning. These interventions can increase incomes, reproductive autonomy and gender equity which build community resilience and adaptability to climate change.
