World Population | An Interactive Experience - World Population
WEBOur population is expected to grow to over 9 billion by 2050, yet the ability of our environment to provide space, food, and energy are limited. Explore population growth from 1 CE to 2050, see how our numbers impact the environment, and learn about the key advances and events allowing our numbers to grow.
About this Project - World Population
WEBThe genesis of this project was World Population, a simple, yet powerful, video animation of “dots on a map” representing population changes through time. First produced by Population Connection (Zero Population Growth at that time) over 40 years ago, the video became a popular teaching resource.
How to Use the Map - World Population
WEBHow to Use the Map & Timeline Overview. On this map, we show population growth from the year 1 C.E. to the present and project our growth into the year 2050. Population concentrations are indicated by yellow ( ) and red ( ) dots – each of which represent one million people. In areas where people are spread out and do not live in ...

WEBThis interactive chart shows the UN’s 2022 estimates and probabilistic projections of total world population. Use the slider to see how changes in the fertility rate affect the population projections. Roll over the lines to see the observed or estimated population for a given year.
Wall Chart: A Quick Trip to 8 Billion - World Population
WEBWorld population reached an unprecedented milestone in late 2022: a global population of 8 billion people. Why did our global family grow so quickly? What are the impacts of such a large (and still growing) world population? The Quick Trip to 8 Billion poster aims to answer these questions and more.

Carrying Capacity - World Population
WEBWith population expected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050, many wonder if our natural resources can keep up with our growing demands. The World Population Map can be viewed with the data overlay, “Human Land Use,” created by ecologist Erle Ellis.
Lesson 1: Peopling of Our Planet - World Population
WEBAs the video World Population illustrates, global population has grown exponentially since the Industrial Revolution. Advances in medicine, nutrition, and sanitation have led to a global decline in the death rate and have been the primary drivers behind population growth in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Projecting Global Population - World Population
WEBOn the World Population History timeline, this growth is observed through the year 2050 when the global population is projected to be 9.7 billion. Because so many factors are at play in determining fertility rates, there are a range of potential outcomes for our projected global population.
