It only took 12 years for the Earth’s population to grow from 7 to 8 billion today.
Also, it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion in 2037.
The UN predicts the population will reach 10.4 billion in the 2080s, before stabilizing by the end of the century.
More than half of the world’s population growth by 2050 will come from just 8 countries, according to the UN: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and Tanzania.
At the end of the century the three most populous cities in the world will be in Africa: Lagos in Nigeria, Kinshasa in DR Congo and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
