A new paradigm:sexual and reproductive rights and health

The Cairo Agreement
![Page 13: A Pivotal Moment: Population, Justice and the Environmental Challenge Laurie Mazur Population Growth and Rising Consumption: What's Sustainable? October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d135503460f949e7b07/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Implementing Cairo: Ensure that all people have access
to family planning and other reproductive health services
Educate girls; empower women Reduce infant and child mortality Invest in education and opportunity
for the largest generation in history

Cairo and climate adaptation
![Page 15: A Pivotal Moment: Population, Justice and the Environmental Challenge Laurie Mazur Population Growth and Rising Consumption: What's Sustainable? October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d135503460f949e7b07/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What does it cost? The developed countries' share of the
cost to provide reproductive health services for every woman on earth is $20 billion
The US share is about $1 billion
![Page 16: A Pivotal Moment: Population, Justice and the Environmental Challenge Laurie Mazur Population Growth and Rising Consumption: What's Sustainable? October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d135503460f949e7b07/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The need is greater than ever 200 million women lack access to
family planning services More than 90 million children are not
in school; most of them are girls. Gender inequality and poverty limit
the horizons of millions more.

Two suggestions: Respect the complexity. Stick to the Cairo consensus.
