Population growth is influenced by other factors than reproduction, namely immigration. I don't think it makes much sense to consider the environnmental aspect of population growth on a national level.

You contradict yourself. Less children born in one nation means less children at the global level but not necessarily at the national level because of immigration. My environmental commentary is about the global level.
