Learn about the impact of population growth and important milestones in human history and view other key data including land use, fertility rates, CO2 emissions, life expectancy, and urbanization. Explore the Map.
This interactive chart shows the UN’s 2022 estimates and probabilistic projections of total world population. Use the slider to see how changes in the fertility rate affect the population projections. Roll over the lines to see the observed or estimated population for a given year. View the Interactive Chart.
The genesis of this project was World Population, a simple, yet powerful, video animation of “dots on a map” representing population changes through time. First produced by Population Connection (Zero Population Growth at that time) over 40 years ago, the video became a popular teaching resource.
This interactive chart shows estimates and probabilistic projections of total world population as published by the United Nations in their 2022 Revision of the World Population Prospects.
On this map, we show population growth from the year 1 C.E. to the present and project our growth into the year 2050. Population concentrations are indicated by yellow ( ) and red ( ) dots – each of which represent one million people.

World population reached an unprecedented milestone in late 2022: a global population of 8 billion people. Why did our global family grow so quickly? What are the impacts of such a large (and still growing) world population? The Quick Trip to 8 Billion poster aims to answer these questions and more.
Advances in medicine, nutrition, and sanitation have led to a global decline in the death rate and have been the primary drivers behind population growth in the 20th and 21st centuries. In this lesson, the teacher will use the Timeline to guide students through an interactive reading and discussion of these advances from the invention of the ...
Where Do We Grow From Here? Looking to the future of world population and life on Earth, students interpret the United Nations’ latest projections in the background reading, Projecting Global Population to 2050 and Beyond, and using the Interactive Population Projection Graph.
With population expected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050, many wonder if our natural resources can keep up with our growing demands. The World Population Map can be viewed with the data overlay, “Human Land Use,” created by ecologist Erle Ellis.
