There are two competing goals. One is to help poor people get out of poverty. This leads to more consumption in the short term and this increase in consumption is partly offset by the fact that richer people tend to have fewer children. The other competing goal is to try to stem the great environmental damage humans do as a result of their consumption. It does no good for everyone to be rich if we are all swimming in our own shit. When a given topic comes up one goal will carry more weight than the other. There are similar instances of this phenomenon with all political movements.
