DESCRIPTION:\n	Day of 8 Billion\n\n\n\n	On 15 November 2022\, the worl
	d’s population is projected to reach 8 billion people\, a milestone in h
	uman development. This unprecedented growth is due to the gradual increase
	 in human lifespan owing to improvements in public health\, nutrition\, pe
	rsonal hygiene and medicine. It is also the result of high and persistent 
	levels of fertility in some countries.\n\n\n\n	While it took the global po
	pulation 12 years to grow from 7 to 8 billion\, it will take approximately
	 15 years—until 2037— for it to reach 9 billion\, a sign that the over
	all growth rate of the global population is slowing.\n\n\n\n	Countries wit
	h the highest fertility levels tend to be those with the lowest income per
	 capita. Global population growth has therefore over time become increasin
	gly concentrated among the world’s poorest countries\, most of which are
	 in sub-Saharan Africa. In these countries\, sustained rapid population gr
	owth can thwart the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs
	)\, which remain the world’s best pathway toward a happy and healthy fut
	ure.\n\n\n\n	Even though population growth magnifies the environmental imp
	act of economic development\, rising per capita incomes are the main drive
	r of unsustainable patterns of production and consumption. The countries w
	ith the highest per capita consumption of material resources and emissions
	 of greenhouse gas emissions tend to be those where income per capita is h
	igher\, not those where the population is growing rapidly.\n\n\n\n	Meeting
	 the objectives of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise\, 
	while achieving the SDGs\, critically depends on curbing unsustainable pat
	terns of production and consumption. Yet\, slower population growth over m
	any decades could help to mitigate the further accumulation of environment
	al damage in the second half of the current century.\n\n
