8 Billion People

The UN has estimated that Nov 15th, 2022, will be the date that the world’s human population officially hits 8 billion.

During this time, Australia’s population will have passed 26 million. Population growth in Australia has contributed to land clearing, urban sprawl, pollution, resource depletion and biodiversity loss. Every 2 to 3 years, Australia adds another 1 million people.
