The world’s population is expected to grow by more than 2 billion people in the next decades and peak in the 2080s at around 10.3 billion, a major shift from a decade ago, a new report by the United Nations said Thursday.
The report—released on World Population Day—says the global population is then expected to decline to around 10.2 billion by the end of the century.
