Efforts to Control World Population in COVID 19 Pandemic

Abstract

World population reached 7.8 million on 11th July 2020 which is considered to be higher than the capacity of the planet Earth to be able to sustain in future if it continues to increase further at the same pace. Present estimates specify approximately 83 million people added to the world’s population every year. If we take declining fertility levels, the global population is expected to reach 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100. According to the Inter Academy Panel Statement on Population Growth, circa 1994, most of the problems related to climatic change, such as rising levels of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, global warming, and pollution, are intensified by the rise in population number. Overpopulation is also responsible to depletion of natural resources leading to scarcity of fresh water, fossil fuel, etc.
