You might be interested in the works of Charity Entrepreneurship on Family Planning (link to a blogpost about why that matters, where they also list a potential positive impact from reducing population growth). Here are some more explicit models about the relation of reducing population growth (via family planning) on animal welfare and CO2 emissions. Also, their list of top charity ideas and an in-depth report on their top charity idea, which they will hopefully incubate at the upcoming program.
Thanks for those links—pretty interesting! I especially liked the “ROI analysis”: “Through research into the most cost-effective development policies, the Copenhagen Consensus recommended expanding access to contraception universally as the third-best policy with a return to investment estimated at $120 per dollar spent [10]. [...] Family planning may have large benefits and ripple effects on various sectors, and is a large problem at scale.”
