The global human population surpassed 8.0 billion in mid-November 2022, marking a significant increase from an estimated 2.5 billion people in 1950.
This growth includes an additional 1 billion people since 2010 and 2 billion since 1998, according to the UN.
The UN predicts that the world’s population will continue to rise, reaching 9.7 billion in 2050 and potentially peaking at nearly 10.4 billion in the mid-2080s, representing an increase of almost 2 billion individuals within the next 30 years.
