This year’s World Population Day falls during a milestone year, when we anticipate the birth of the Earth’s eight billionth inhabitant. In an ideal world, 8 billion people means 8 billion opportunities for healthier societies empowered by rights and choices. Under the theme "A world of 8 billion: Towards a resilient future for all - Harnessing opportunities and ensuring rights and choices for all", the 2022 observation calls on us to renew our promise of implementing the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development for a sustainable and inclusive future for all, leaving no one behind.
Most of the fastest-growing populations are found in the group of Least Developed Countries, which collectively grew at around 2.4% annually between 2000 and 2020.
