Experts have generally agreed that any reduction in population size will come far too late to help with the current climate crisis. We're either going to hit sustainability with our current population or die in the process.

While the climate crisis is a significant part of what ails the environment, it's far from the only thing. Lowering the human population should mean reduced destruction of surviving animal habitats and populations, for instance. And the greater the genetic diversity in an animal population, the better its chances of adapting to external events like climate change become.
