Under what conditions would compulsory sterilization programs constitute a legitimate tool of climate policy?

None.  

Compulsory sterilization is a weapon the ruling class has always aimed first at the oppressed—Indigenous women in the U.S., poor women in Puerto Rico, Roma in Europe, disabled people everywhere. It has never been about “too many bodies”; it has always been about which bodies the bourgeoisie deems surplus. Folding that genocidal instrument into “climate policy” only green-washes the same eugenics that imperialism uses to manage its labor reserves and terrorize the nationally oppressed.  

The ecological crisis is driven not by the number of human beings but by the *relations* through which we produce and reproduce—above all the profit-maximizing, waste-maximizing logic of capital. A single trans-Atlantic cargo flight emits more CO₂ than an entire village of Bangladeshi peasants will in their lifetimes; the U.S. military alone outpollutes 140 countries. Blaming “overpopulation” is a cheap ideological deflection that keeps the spotlight off the real destroyers: the monopolies, the banks, the Pentagon.  

If the question is how to reduce humanity’s ecological load, the answer is to socialize energy, transport, housing and agriculture under worker-peasant control, plan production for need instead of surplus value, and launch a crash program to convert the imperialist countries’ military-industrial sectors into renewable, public infrastructure. That plus the full liberation of women—free abortion, free contraception, communal childcare, wages for housework, an end to the patriarchal family—has already lowered birth-rates everywhere it has been tried, without a single forced procedure.  

Any climate program that begins by counting wombs instead of carbon majors, or that imagines coercion of the poor instead of expropriation of the rich, is not environmentalism; it is Malthusianism in a green mask, and it will be resisted with whatever force necessary.
