Understanding Global Population Trends and Sustainability Challenges

Explore the dynamics of global population growth and its impact on sustainability. This activity aims to help students grasp current population figures and predict future trends using mathematical skills like percentages, graphical representation, and algebra. Through data analysis and predictions for years 2005 and 2050, students will engage in discussions on the relationship between population growth and the three pillars of sustainability: environment, equity, and economics. Participate in interactive exercises to cement understanding of these critical issues.
