This year‘s State of World Population Report 2007 funded by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has been released.
Find it on Sahalli!
We now live in a world with 6.6 billion people, a number that is expected to increase to 9.2 billion in less than 50 years. This unprecedented strain on Earth’s finite natural resources will have serious implications on a critical range of issues from the environment and our global economy, to political stability and global health.
Population Sahalli is an interactive resource base developed by
The Population Institute to facilitate examination and dialogue regarding the significant and diverse impact of population growth. We focus on voluntary
family planning as the means to curb rapid population growth and achieve a balance between global population and a
healthy environment. Myriad topics play key roles in finding this balance, including but not limited to
gender disparity,
economic pressures, and
global health concerns, especially with regard to
HIV/AIDS.
