Climate and Population Debate: Bulletin of Atomic Scientist

The 1997 Kyoto Protocol has had little measurable effect on per capita emissions, even in the countries that have agreed to national targets. Instead, what we have seen is that developed countries have reached a plateau of per capita emissions as they've reached specific stages of development. Many developing countries that are experiencing explosive economic growth have not yet reached per capita emissions plateaus and also have rapidly rising populations. One of the best strategies for reducing future greenhouse gas emissions is population stabilization, as quickly as can be achieved by non-coercive means.
