Beyond 7 Billion
Sep 26, 2012, 7:15 PMJefferson Hall 223/224 (2221 Pacific Ave.)
Stacie Murphy of Population Connection (formerly Zero Population Growth), a nonprofit organization for population stabilization, will be presenting " Beyond 7 Billion: The Challenges of Global Population Growth."
Population Connection Associate Stacie Murphy will speak on the root causes of rapid human population growth including current trends and possible future trajectories. Her talk will focus on three impacts: people (particularly how global population impacts social justice), other species, and climate. She will also discuss ways in which diverse places such as Mexico and Iran are meeting the population challenge through access to voluntary contraception and other positive means.
Stacie has been involved with Population Connection since 2007, when she started as a government relations fellow. She joined the full-time staff in 2008 as a public policy associate. She represents the organization both on Capitol Hill and in meetings with coalition partners, and particularly enjoys getting outside the Beltway to speak on population issues for general audiences. Stacie also manages the Email Action Network, helping keep 45,000 grassroots members informed and active on the organization’s issues. She holds a master's degree in public policy from George Washington University, with a concentration in gender and social policy.
