Population Footprints, the 2011 UCL-Leverhulme Trust symposium on human population growth and global carrying capacity, took place in London on 25-26 May in London with a satellite meeting in Kenya. This high profile global event deemed to be ‘the population event of the year’, was an outstanding success. The symposium brought together cross-sector academics, NGOs and activists from the global South and North to debate and address practical policy concerns on a range of inter-related issues of critical importance for the 21st century.
