KARACHI:
Overpopulation poses challenges to resources, healthcare and the overall quality of life. Policymakers and other relevant stakeholders must focus on comprehensive strategies to promote family planning, education and awareness. They must undertake collaborative initiatives involving government policies, community engagement and educational programmes to effectively address this issue.
By addressing the root causes of overpopulation, such as inadequate access to family planning resources and limited educational opportunities, we can work towards achieving a sustainable balance between population growth and available resources. Let us unite in our commitment to tackle overpopulation, ensuring a better future for the people of Pakistan and safeguarding the well-being of our shared environment. We must engage in collective efforts to implement sustainable solutions empowering communities to make informed choices and contribute to a harmonious and balanced society.
