Fellow of the Royal Society and IAP Working Group Chair, Professor Charles Godfray, said: 

“In April the Royal Society produced its own report on population and consumption, People and the Planet, and we are delighted that the world’s science academies have also chosen to come together to highlight two of the most profound challenges to humanity – population and consumption – and to call for urgent and coordinated international action to address them."
