   1/2 Current research suggests Earth's sustainable population is around 3 billion, living with Swiss-like efficiency. Over-consumption in large countries and future pollution from high-population poor countries must be reduced. The challenge lies in achieving this while managing climate collapse and its side effects. A gap exists in discourse on handling declining populations within degrowth organizations.

     2/2 Think tanks should focus on depopulation studies, offering policy guidance and planning for sustainable, post-collapse survival. So humanity doesn't go extinct we need:
     1. Replacing GDP with a better metric.
     2. Less fragile technology.
     3. Scenario planning to handle a population crash to a sustainable level.
     4. Better post-crash strategic spatial planning.
