"...suggests that if the world invested in a “Giant Leap” to reduce poverty and inequality, the world population would peak at around 8.5 billion people in 2040 and decline to 6 billion by the end of the century."

Like a great leap forward?

Or maybe focus on the things that actually lift people out of poverty, free markets and rule of law.
