Rom, I really don't think population growth is the problem - or at least attempts to curb population growth at this stage are not a viable solution to global sustainability challenges. Population is heading for a peak of 9-11 billion by mid century, whereas energy use show no such sign of peaking, so it is in technology that we must look for solutions.
A large population that is dependent on extraction of primary natural resources is damaging - the same sized population that is focused on clean energy, large-scale and near-complete recycling, small-land-footprint intensive agriculture etc., isn't.
