Challenge of higher population growth globally
According to a UN-led analysis published this year, the world population may grow larger than previously estimated, reaching 11 billion by this century's end. That would mean two billion more people on Earth than expected by 2100, largely due to high birth rates in Africa, said the report in the US journal 'Science'.
More people on Earth will likely exacerbate problems such as climate change, infectious diseases and poverty. The world countries should take the matter seriously and be prepared to face this challenge of growing population.
