Sensible and humain? Why don't we just let India and Pakistan wipe each other of the planet? If the wind is blowing in the right direction we might get a fair chunk of China too.
Stop sending your £5 to water aid, that'll dehydrate quite a few in Africa, no water, no tulip.
Solved!
I'm not sure where you are going with this one, people have attempted this in the past i.e. China and their single child policy. You can incentivise families to have either fewer or more kids.
China's policy worked for them. Most 1st world countries the indigenous population is dropping (UK included). Family planning only works if you can be given a high percentage chance that all of your offspring will survive.
There is no motivation to do that. And even when there is, it will be very hard to implement.
Thank God I will be dead by the time the planet gets really unpleasant.
Nah, technology/innovation will solve the problem.
All that needs to happen is to have carbon capture on a massive scale. My idea is huge seaweed "farms" floating on the oceans - they couldd hoover up CO2 faster than we are producing it.

Population is coming under control all on its own.
Improving child mortality, education for women and contraception are all that is needed. And it’s working. Expect 11bn people by 2050 that will be stable, or slightly falling.
