my features published in #CurrentBiology this year, issue 1: Human population at the crossroads.

You’re one in #8billion
Here’s a fun interactive from WashPo to earmark world reaching 8 billion population. Enter age, country, and gender and you get a mosaic each representing 1 or 10 million people depending on scale of selected country’s population.

Population & development review has interesting collection of essays on #8billion people, but I’m puzzled that article on « the data we need » does not even mention the need to count populations more regularly, and to dramatically improve registration of births & deaths in many parts of the world. I hope research on developing civil registration systems becomes much more of a focus among demographers, and that this is reflected in our flagship journals.

According to the UN, the world's population has now passed 8 billion.
Previously, we featured work by Celine Zipfel, which examines some of the drivers behind this population growth, and explores the key policy takeaways from these findings: https://voxdev.org/topic/health-education/bursting-bubble-population-growth-evidence-sub-saharan-africa

#8billion people live on this planet now. The multiple ecological crises we are facing, however, is not caused by the quantity of that number, but by one specific quality: #overconsumption in some parts of those 8 billion, predominantly in the #GlobalNorth (to which China and most Gulf countries now also belong). And this over-consumption is caused by an unchecked capitalist economic system that knows no boundaries. So don't discriminate people today, criticize #capitalism instead.

really interesting piece from the president of the population institute about how #climateadaptation and #reproductiverights are connected: https://bit.ly/3Xgg5nh
timely as the world surpasses #8billion people today. areas of the world with highest rates of population growth are also the most vulnerable to #climatechange.

There are now more than twice as many people in the world than when I was born.
UN says it will peak at 10 bill. So hard to say what the world will look like at the end of this century. I hope we get it right.

CW: 8 Billion People—Where Do We Go From Here?
New at NatGeo:
The #UN tomorrow celebrates the planet topping #8billion.
Humans are living longer, thanks to more health care, cleaner water, better sanitation, education.
But pollution/overfishing are degrading oceans, wildlife is vanishing + climate change
poses the greatest enviro threat in history.What will dictate our future—the billions more mouths we’ll have to feed, or the billions more brains we'll employ to do so? https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/the-world-now-has-8-billion-people

En cambio en Galicia facemos todo o que podemos para baixar a poboación.
