As the global population continues to increase at an alarming rate,
the world, as a whole, now faces the issue of overpopulation. If
the world's natural resource consumption and environmental
pollution/destruction continue at their current pace, then the
earth will eventually no longer be able to sustain all of its
inhabitants. Social change is the only way to prevent this. The
world's religious traditions possess particular motivational
qualities with respect to people's worldviews and behaviors. All of
the world's religious traditions are responding, in some way, to
overpopulation. Traditions in isolation, however, do not address
the complexities of the current ecological crisis. Overpopulation
requires a broader approach that unites the respective responses.
This book examines the value of responses to overpopulation from
certain Buddhist intellectuals in the contemporary religion and
ecology discourse concerning overpopulation while also underscoring
instances of resonance between those responses and ones from modern
Christian thinkers.
