In #India, average fertility has shifted from 6 children to 2 since 1960. The result? More girls in school and more women in leadership.

The 59th session of the Commission on Population and Development, #CPD59, has closed without consensus — once again.
A key sticking point remains disagreement over language on sexual and reproductive health and rights. Still, important conversations took place.

Evidence over fear: Reclaiming the population debate at CPD59
We took the floor at the 59th session of the UN Commission on Population and Development (CPD59) with a clear message: evidence matters, rights matter, and we cannot afford to let the global conversation on population drift into fear-driven narratives. We also hosted an official side event, focused on the role of demographic and contraceptive research, technology, and education in advancing sustainable population dynamics. This year’s CPD The yearly CPD sessions play a pivotal role in advancing the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action—a visionary framework for rights-based population action adopted over 30 years ago in Cairo. This year, delegates gathered at the UN Headquarters in New York City from April 13 to 17 under the theme “Population, technology and research in the context of sustainable development.” We used our statements and interventions to push back against rising pronatalist rhetoric, highlight the urgency of investing in data and family planning, and reaffirm that aging is not a crisis, but a sign of progress. “This year’s theme marks a real shift from previous sessions. Having attended CPD regularly since 2010, I see it as forward-looking and long overdue. It moves us beyond simply counting people to understanding...
