Personally, I'd prefer a solution starting before it's the eleventh hour, so you can keep the losses for everybody at a minimum, and so you can avoid Holocaust-methods, which, in the end, not lead to a reduction of the population, but to an erasement of certain people and the gap gets refilled again with other people twice as much as before.
It's something that wouldn't work together with the current economic system, whose only obsessive goal is growth. On the other hand, I must say, it is a big challenge to human mind to think about regulation of masses to exist of its own species. Thousands of years of religion taught mankind "the earth only belongs to you", and after Holocaust this is a very sensitive topic also on the left side of politics (Western left as well as other editions of "left"). The jump to the conclusion you want gas chambers again is stuck to your heels, even though it doesn't have to do with that. That is because it's a very common subtle attitude that humans get taught since the very first days of their existence to not question the behavior of their own species inside the big ecosystem called "earth". Humans get raised inside the filter bubble that they're totally unattached to that and therefore don't need to bow down to nature's laws. That they can do whatever they want inside their human universe. But this isn't the truth, as one can see through the extinction of masses of animal species throughout human history caused by man. Where humans live, no animals live anymore - except for those which they breed themselves for a certain purpose. This aspect should get a very deep consideration, and there man should also look into the abyss that it is itself. There is no "we spread as we like". It has physical limits.
In this point, even the left political forces from differing areas of the world fight against accepting this recognition.
