Ask AI: What are the effects of overpopulation on the environment and society? Explain very briefly

Overpopulation significantly impacts the environment through greater demand for natural resources, land degradation, and increased waste production. It contributes to deforestation, water scarcity, and air and water pollution, thereby causing loss of biodiversity and climate change. In society, overpopulation can lead to overcrowding, strains on infrastructure, increased competition for jobs, resources and education, and higher levels of poverty. Overpopulation often results in social unrest, increased health risks, and economic instability.
