A useful illustration of the dramatic global population shift that will take place over the next century and reshape the global economy, including how we manage population growth and decline in different regions. Originally from

Falling fertility rates over the next quarter century will have far-reaching social and economic consequences, a new report says.⁠

The UN forecasts the global population could grow from the current figure of about 8bn to 9.7bn in 2050 and peak at nearly 10.4bn in the mid-2080s. ⁠

But those figures mask how the so-called total fertility rate — the number of children born per female per lifetime — has already fallen in some countries below the level of roughly 2.1 needed for population replacement.⁠

According to a new study, three-quarters of nations are projected to fall below population replacement birth rates by 2050, leaving growth concentrated in a minority of low-income states in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia that face acute threats from resource shortages and climate change.

Is sustainable fashion expensive, or has the fast fashion industry made clothing artificially cheap?

The Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act, better known as the New York Fashion Act, is back on the state’s agenda this year. The Act would require brands with $100 million+ in revenue that sell in New York to map and monitor their full supply chain, and address human rights and climate issues. If passed, it will trigger massive changes in the industry similar to those already being discussed in the EU, including a push for .

Sharing words from as we reflect on what’s at the forefront of everyone’s minds. In the midst of great darkness, we must acknowledge our strong emotions of fear and anger but act on our better impulses. We must actively build networks of safety for affected communities and unite against terror and destruction.

More than 35 new pieces of sustainability regulation will go into effect globally by 2027. A lot of that will have to do with using better raw materials, like regenerative cotton or recycled polyester, and there’s not nearly enough to go around.

Through our initiative for Ukraine, we are proud to support and recognize our partners at for their exhaustive investigation of war crimes in Ukraine, which has led to three cases filed with German Federal prosecutors to hold perpetrators accountable. Humankind for Ukraine is committed to restoring dignity and seeking justice for Ukrainians affected by the ongoing conflict.

When we began our work with Ukrainian families in April 2022 through Humankind Global, we quickly understood the need for stable housing across Europe, employment opportunities, and access to quality education, healthcare, and mental health services. In the absence of a coordinated global response, we banded together with grassroots groups on the ground. Now, we are doubling down on our services that will restore dignity and seek justice for Ukrainians. We are piloting a relocation program for refugee families to northern Italy, producing a documentary in collaboration with Ukrainian filmmakers, and supporting independent media in Ukraine.
