The population growth trend is already declining in many (western) countries and is projected to go down in a few decades max everywhere. Best contraceptive is education, prosperity and urbanization.

IMHO the best way to limit our negative impacts is

- stop exploiting other countries (there are almost no poor countries, only overexploited ones)

- urbanization ( https://i.redd.it/fl28yusb1r5b1.jpg )

- abandoning fossil fuels (so far we're not making a dent https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/renewables-growth-di... )

- stopping animal agriculture (destruction of the environment, biodiversity, pollution, overfishing ...)
