Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food World Population in 2300 The United Nations Population Division (UNDP) released its first projection of population trends to the year 2300. According to its medium scenario, the UNDP predicts global population will increase from approximately six billion persons in 2000 to nine billion over the next 75 years. Global population will then decline to about eight billion by 2175 and then increase again to nine billion by the year 2300. Because population grows at exponential rates, small increases of decreases in the growth rate would result in significant differences in long term population trends. For example, in its low growth scenario, UNDP projects that global population could decline to 2 billion in 2300; under its high growth scenario, as many as 36 billion people could populate the globe. All of these projects have a considerable degree of uncertainty; they are based on current population trends, but the world could be a very different kind of place three centuries from now. After all, three centuries ago, the Industrial Revolution was many decades away, and it was another century and a half before Louis Pasteur published the germ theory, which led to a revolution in health and the increase in longevity that has led to the current increase in global population. The UNDP's projections are based on its revised predictions for global population trends over the next five decades. During the past fifty years, there was an unprecedented increase in global population as mortality rates declined almost worldwide. This rapid increase in population raised concerns that population growth in many developing countries would outstrip the countries' ability to feed their population. That concern, however, has been reduced because of another unprecedented trend: Developing countries are experiencing a transition from high to low fertility rates much faster than occurred in Western nations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Total fertility rates are declining almost worldwide. The concern in many developed nations is that total fertility rates have dropped so low that populations will begin to

World Population Change: Boom or Bust? This is an e-Lecture (text and Web links) version of a presentation on the economics of population change that we have done at several conferences in Wisconsin and Georgia. This e-Lecture could be used by teachers for classes in economics, geography, world affairs, social problems, and other social studies courses. It may be used either independently or in conjunction with the Web based audio file interview with the authors The year 1999 was designated as Y6B by organizations concerned with world overpopulation issues. Y6B stands for the year of 6 billion people. The world population was estimated to reach that number on October 12, 1999. As of July 1, 2001, the U.S. Census estimates world population at 6,157,744,000 people. A good explanation and analysis of the data for world population is at the U.S. Census Bureau Web site. Although the world has added one billion people in the last 12 years, the very important population growth rate has begun to slow down. From a record high annual growth rate of 2% in 1968, it has declined to 1.4% in 2000. That is a 30% decrease in the rate of growth, and it will have significant effects on future demographic developments. An excellent source of recent world demographic data is the Web site of the Population Reference Bureau Population: The First Essay, 1798

Their forecast shows there's a high chance that the world's population will stop growing before the end of the 21st century. It suggests that the total number of people may peak in 70 years or so at about 9 billion people, compared with 6.1 billion today. The scientists say their prediction is more reliable than other population forecasts because they employed non-traditional but more rigorous methods of analysis. The study was conducted by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria. In their report, published in the August 2 issue of

World Population Profile: 1998 Highlights U.S. Bureau of the Census, World Population Profile: 1998 17mar99 Population Growth From the dawn of mankind to the turn of the nineteenth century world population grew to a total of one billion people. During the 1800s, human numbers increased at increasingly higher rates, reaching a total of about 1.7 billion people by 1900. World population has grown even more rapidly during the present century, with the greatest gains occurring in the post-World War II period, and stands at over three times its size in 1900 some 5.9 billion people today. Population growth has continued throughout the past three decades in spite of the decline in fertility rates that began in many developing countries in the late 1970s and, in some countries, in spite of the toll taken by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. While the rate of increase is slowing, in absolute terms world population growth continues to be substantial. Global population increase is currently equivalent to adding a new Israel, Egypt, Jordan, West Bank, and Gaza to the existing world total each year. According to Census Bureau projections, world population will increase to a level of nearly 8 billion persons by the end of the next quarter century, and will reach 9.3 billion persons a number more than half again as large as today's total by 2050.

In the 1970s the world will undergo famines; hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. So predicted Stanford professor Paul Erhlich in his widely influential 1968 book The Population Bomb . It sold more than three million copies but its many predictions of global catastrophe never came true. Most famines in the 70s and 80s were in African countries saddled with Marxist governments or political turmoil. Has Erhlich admitted these errors? No, in 1989 he wrote The Population Explosion . Without comment on his past mistakes he merely moves them into the future again, like those who predict the end of the world. Erhlich wrote, The Population Bomb tried to alert people to the connection of population growth to such events...but society has turned a deaf ear. Meanwhile, a largely prospective disaster has turned into the real thing.... There still may be time to limit the scope of the impending catastrophe, but not much time.

Executive Summary: Population Dynamics and Global Climate Change Population and Global Warming: Science and Policy Issues The dramatic increase in human population since 1950 has been paralleled by two other significant trends: the rapid rise of both atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and average global temperatures. (FIGURES 1, 2 and 3) While the relationships among these three rising trends are complex, the underlying facts are simple. As the population has increased from 2.5 billion in 1950 to 6.2 billion in 2002, people have progressively consumed greater amounts of fossil fuel and engaged in more activities, such as deforestation and the production of certain chemicals, all of which produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. There is broad agreement in the international scientific community that these greenhouse gases have increased the temperature of the earth and will continue to do so at an accelerating rate in the coming decades if current trends persist. In 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an international, UN-sponsored panel of several thousand scientists, concluded that "most of the warming over the past 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations" (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2001). The 1990s were the warmest decade in the 20 th century, and 1998 and 2001 were the hottest years ever recorded.

Politics By decon recon Fri Jan 23rd, 2004 at 06:05:53 PM EST A " population clock " at ibiblio.org projects that world human population will reach 6.4 billion on January 27, 2004. Over 97% of population growth is now in developing countries (Haub, 2003). This growth will worsen the impact of many negative social and ecological trends. Current demographic developments indicate the population explosion may be slowing. Two trends account for this: The birth rate is starting to slow in many developing countries (reaching a population replacement level) and the death rate is increasing in some of the poorest countries. Introduction This short essay discusses serious problems related to global population growth and possible solutions. The words above and this introduction frame the issue. The next three sections outline current demographic trends, processes, and outcomes. The last section presents a very general discussion of what could be done about population growth. I first read about the population explosion in the late 80s. At that time, population had zoomed past 5 billion and was heading to 6 billion by the year 2000. Catastrophe was projected, if we did not act decisively to slow growth. The harsh finality of limits to growth seemed more compelling than the possibility of response.

The century began with 1.6 billion people and ended with 6.1 billion, mainly because of unprecedented growth after 1960. The momentum created by this population growth will carry us past 7 billion by 2015. Beyond that, the future of world population is less certain. Public discourse on population today tends to flow in one of two directions. One emphasizes the continued growth in the less developed regions, and the economic, social, environmental, and political strains associated with adding a few billion more people in the next 50 years.

Ten Years After Cairo: World Population Up, Rate of Growth Down United Nations (New York) Press Release - March 22, 2004 UN Population Commission meets to assess progress since landmark Cairo Population Conference The world is beginning to see the end of rapid population growth, according to a United Nations report to be submitted next week to the Commission on Population and Development. In 1994, world fertility was 3 children per woman, and today it has dropped to 2.7; nearly all countries have experienced some reduction of fertility; men and women are closer to achieving their desired family size and spacing of children; mortality is declining in most countries; and life expectancy has been increasing it is approximately 66 years today, while it was 64 years in 1994. The report, to be discussed at the 37th session of the Commission on Population and Development meeting at UN Headquarters from 22 to 26 March, notes that although population growth has decreased in the last decade, progress is being affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic and conflict. In the 53 countries most affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, it is estimated that HIV has been the cause of nearly 20 million excess deaths. "Much progress has been achieved during the last ten years, and we must keep up the momentum," said Joseph Chamie, Director of the United Nations Population Division, DESA. "In the last ten years the world has gained 787 million persons, but the annual increase is declining, and by mid-century the annual increase should be one third of today's level, or 29 million persons."

Population Growth Economic and Social Development Financial Issues Institutional Conditions ... Conclusion 2. THE 1993 REPORT—ENERGY DEMAND ANALYSIS The analysis of energy demand to 2020 in ETW and how it would be met among regions and primary energy sources has stood the test of time fairly well. However, our views of some of the main drivers of energy demand have been modified with the passage of time, and new drivers have come into play. This Chapter recalls the main results of ETW and provides an assessment of the drivers of energy demand today. ETW was prepared in 1992 and published in 1993, based on data available up to 1990. Guided by the WEC Commission Board, it combined a top-down analysis and nine regional bottom-up perspectives. The key drivers shaping global energy supply and its use in the future were identified: population growth economic and social development financial and institutional conditions. local/regional and global environmental concerns efficiency of energy supply and use technological innovation and deployment, and access to sufficient modern energy in the developing world.
