DESCRIPTION:Course participation is limited to 20 people  Register Online T
 oday  Sustainability essentially involves the obligation to leave to futur
 e generations the capacity to ensure their well-being. This obligation rai
 ses the question of whether we are running out of resources—in terms of bo
 th “sources” and “sinks”—necessary for its fulfillment. On the opposite si
 de of the coin are the questions of whether there are too many people\, an
 d if we are consuming too much. This one-day seminar addresses the specifi
 c issue of population growth\, which is important in the context of sustai
 nability\, given that the global population\, which currently stands at ar
 ound 7.2 billion people\, is projected by the United Nations to reach near
 ly 11 billion in 2100.The causes and impacts of population growth\, what m
 ight be done to control it and whether “overpopulation” is a problem at al
 l have been and continue to be debated. We will explore different perspect
 ives on these questions and draw lessons for global population stabilizati
 on from the experience related to population control.  Presenter  Madhav B
 adami has a joint appointment in the School of Urban Planning and the McGi
 ll School of Environment at McGill University. After having studied mechan
 ical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology\, Madras\, he spent

 try. He then obtained a Master’s Degree in Environmental Science at the Un

 e University of British Columbia. Madhav Badami’s teaching and research in
 terests are in the areas of environmental policy and planning\, urban infr
