F Y I - The World Population is growing by over 200,000 people a day...?
F Y I - The population of the world today is about 215,000 people larger than yesterday. The world population clock shows you in real time how fast it’s actually going. The development will put enormous pressure on Earth’s resources and we’ll need to find more sustainable ways of living. And fast!
When the world population doubled in the 46 years between 1971 and 2017, the world economy more than quadrupled from $19.9 to $80.1 trillion (in constant prices). In about the same period from 1970 and 2010, human consumption of Earth's natural resources tripled.
