原文：

Six decades from now is when the U.N. projects the size of the world population will peak. There won’t be any quick fixes: Even if it’s too early today to know exactly how to build an abundant future that offers good lives to a stable, large and flourishing future population, we should already be working toward that goal. Waiting until the population peaks to ask how to respond to depopulation would be as imprudent as waiting until the world starts to run out of fossil fuels to begin responding to climate change.

译文：

联合国预测，60年后，世界人口规模将达到峰值。没有任何快速的解决办法：即使现在还远远无法确切地知道如何建立一个富足的未来，为稳定、庞大和繁荣的未来人口提供美好的生活，但我们应该朝着这个目标努力了。等到人口达到顶峰才去询问如何应对人口减少的问题，就像等到世界开始耗尽化石燃料才开始应对气候变化一样，是不明智的。
