Abstract: Population ethics is about principles for social evaluation of alternatives with different population sizes. Different environmental policies lead to different population sizes as well as different quality of lives involved. Therefore, as a necessary step towards laying foundations for such policy recommendations, discussing relevant issues on population principles is of critical importance.
