By 2050 the global population is set to top 9 billion - a figure that could spell disaster for the planet, according to environmentalists. Should we put limits on reproduction? Join us as we debate the arguments for and against curbing human numbers and explore the history of overpopulation fears, from Malthus to eugenics.

Speakers

Roger Martin, Chair of the Optimum Population Trust.

Brendan O'Neill, Editor of Spiked.
