The worlds population is expected to hit 7 Billion people within the next few weeks. At the beginning the rate of growth was rather slow, but in the past 50 years the population has almost doubled in size, thats alot of people! Some quick stats:
- Under-25s make up 43% of the global population, but they make up 60% of the world’s least-developed countries. Some 97 out of every 100 new births are in countries classified as less developed than the United Kindom.
-The worlds population is expected to hit 10 billion in 2083, with most of the growth coming from countries less developed than the UK. Very little of the current growth comes from the UK.
-The UN estimates that if current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us.
