A stable population is no population growth.
The best way would be to average 1 child per person, or 2 children per female.
The problem is that the starting distribution of ages may cause a momentum effect. For example, some populations in "developing countries" are very weighted so that more than half the population is below 20, so imposing a 1 child per woman wold cause an apparent continued growth of the population for the next half century or so...
Until the population became "stationary", with the distribution of ages is such that the Birth Rate and Death Rate equaled.
Relating this to global warming... one of the issues with humans is that we are reaching a crisis where population growth is unsustainable... and perhaps maintaining the status quo is not good for the planet, but rather we would be far better off with a global decrease in population... As high as a 10 fold decrease in population would be healthy for the planet, but not practical.
So much of our current socio-economic-political organization is about growth... and the decreases for sustainability would be difficult.

When will the human population and population growth reached a stable constant?
It is unclear when the human population and the population growth will reach a stable constant. Everyday people are having children or the elderly are dying, this changes the population count.
Why are moose not endangered?

The population distribution for a country shows that each age structure is about the same size what type of population growth is this country experiencing?
The country is likely experiencing stable or zero population growth. When each age structure is about the same size, it indicates that the birth rate is roughly balanced with the death rate, leading to a stable population without significant growth or decline.
What is the population trend of a polar bear?
Some local populations are on the decline, and some are increasing slightly. The overall population is currently fairly stable at 20-25000.
