UN: United Nations says that there will be 8 billion people around the world. John Wilmoth, director of the UN’s Population Division, stated that while having 8 billion people represents a milestone for humanity, it also poses a serious threat to our future.
India is anticipated to overtake China as the world’s most populous nation in 2023, according to the World Population Prospect report 2022. In 2020, the world population growth rate will have decreased to less than 1%, according to the annual World Population Prospect report.
According to the UN, this number has increased as a result of longer lifespans and several Asian and sub-Saharan African countries’ rapid economic development. According to the United Nations’ most recent estimates, the world’s population may reach 8.5 billion people in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and 10.4 billion in 2100.
