I'm going to get slammed for this, but I hope in the future governments apply some form of a consumption tax to families that are greater than their own replacement value. Also, education all day long about the risks of large families, and making sure people have easy and affordable access to birth control methods.
I would also be in favor of legalized euthanasia with more liberal thresholds, and with a proper process structure in place to ensure all corners are covered with finances, family, work, etc. Individuals should be able to more freely allow themselves to perish.

A lot of the world's issues are due to overpopulation in 3rd and 2nd world countries. I was astounded to learn that India recently took over from China as the world's most populous nation. If you've ever watched any videos from India/Pakistan, you can see the tremendous amount of fuel, emissions, and pollution that come from their day to day driving, street businesses, and industry. The migrant crisis in the west is heavily due to unstable and poorer countries with too many people with too few opportunities. That's a whole other thing in terms of how it came be fixed.
