PMC Methodology and Impact Highlighted In "The Guardian"

A recent study published in The Guardian sheds light on an often overlooked yet critical aspect of the crisis – the human “behavioral crisis.” The interdisciplinary team led by Joseph Merz at the Merz Institute asserts that Earth’s overshoot, overpopulation, and overconsumption are not only driven by corporations and governments but are deeply rooted in human behavior.  

Yes, we at PMC would agree.

The article mentions PMC, saying “the enormous success of the work of Population Media Center, an initiative that creates mainstream entertainment to drive behaviour change on population growth and even gender violence. Fertility rates have declined in the countries in which the centre’s telenovelas and radio novelas have aired." The article and study point to the importance of impacting our collective consciousness, stating that Population Media Center exemplifies the potential of media as one key contributor to shape a future where positive social and environmental values flourish.
