The Global Population: A Growing Concern

Everyday, the world's population grows. And every day that increasing population brings with it new challenges to ensure every human born on the planet is well-fed, has access to clean water, and can live a peaceful, prosperous life. Global population growth is a global challenge, affecting us here even in the United States as we feel the repercussions of explosive growth in poor countries around the world. Take action now to learn about our expanding world population and what you can do, though your donations, volunteering, and activism to help those working to avert population crises around the world.

It took thousands of years for the human population to reach 2.5 billion in 1950, and less than 50 years to more than double to 6 billion.
By 2050, it's estimated the world population will be between 7.3 and 10 billion.
Rapid population growth in poor countries has caused degradation of land, water and natural resources.
