Populations "must be stabilised - and ideally, gradually reduced", it said. Strengthening human rights, including making education "a global norm for all, especially girls", were ways to stem population growth.
Dr Newsome said the impacts of climate change already underway were broad-ranging, prompting concern if not alarm from researchers ranging from human health to ecology and the social sciences.Charlie Veron, a marine biologist accredited with naming about one-fifth of the world's coral species and among the signatories, said climate change "was a lot, lot more serious than the general public realises".
The loss of half the Great Barrier Reef's corals in two consecutive summers of mass bleaching had failed to prompt action. "It's still not taken seriously," he said. "What's it take to wake the country up?"Linden Ashcroft, a lecturer in climate science and science communication at The University of Melbourne, said the report "adds to the roar from all fields of science needs to be taken now".
Other steps people should take include eating mostly plant-based foods to reduce methane and other emissions, saving remaining primary forests to protect biodiversity, and shifting to a carbon-free economy based on renewable energy, the report said.
