ONZ ogłasza 7 miliardów ludzi na naszej planecie

gerwazjana

Dokladnie 31 pazdziernika ONZ oglosi, ze populacja narodow swiata wynosi 7 miliardow ludzi. Siedmio-miliardowe dziecko mialo urodzic sie w tym miesiacu. Narodziny 7-miliardowego dziecka nie sa specjalnie swietowane, gdyz wedlug ONZ tak duza populacja to demograficzna katastrofa swiata ktora stwarza wiele problemow, zwlaszcza jesli chodzi o mozliwosci ekosystemowe oraz energetyczne Ziemii.

Population growth: the baby bomb
The UN will announce the arrival of the 7 billionth human a week today

guardian.co.uk, Sunday 23 October 2011 21.34 BST

The UN will announce the arrival of the 7 billionth human a week today. It seems not to regard the day as one to be celebrated. Why else declare what is, after all, only a guesstimate on 31 October, a solemn day of mourning in the Christian calendar and of ghoulish Halloween partying in the Anglo-Saxon world? Some demographers warn of catastrophic environmental degradation, most acute in the areas where the population grows fastest – the ecologically fragile sub-Saharan Africa – while policies to tackle poverty and disease stall. Others argue that population growth is not necessarily a bad thing: it is only 12 years since the birth of the six billionth person was announced and, for a majority of the world's population, more things have got better than worse. But in an era so shaped by the burden of human activity that scientists are calling it the anthropocene age, the explosive near-trebling of the world's population from just 2.5bn in 1950 demands at least an equal focus on reducing our environmental impact.

If it is too soon to panic, there is a clear case for informed debate around a complex subject laden with cultural and ethical considerations. Take the case for the benefits of continuing population growth. Economic demographers point to the dividend of a young, fast-growing population like China's and India's: it means more economically active citizens, with fewer non-contributing dependents. Greater prosperity (and some draconian policies) is already leading to sharp falls in fertility. Falling birth rates are also indicators of better educated and more autonomous women, which is one reason why sub-Saharan Africa's birthrate remains stubbornly high. Of the 20 countries with the highest fertility rate, all but one are in the region. But a fall in fertility does not necessarily lead to a growth in prosperity, as Latin America found in the 1980s: it can equally lead to stagnation. If Africa wins a demographic dividend it will only be because it stops growing so fast. In countries like Uganda where Janet Museveni, the president's wife, condemns birth control on religious grounds that means profound cultural change. But it also needs a united global effort to support women's right to choose in a world where 200 million who want access to birth control still do not have it.

Without radical action, the UN now predicts the world's population doubling again before the end of this century. Yet in the west, a diminishing working-age population will support ever more dependents. Japan is on course to become the oldest population ever seen. Maybe the only safe prediction is for unprecedented population shifts. Time to start preparing, now.

Washington, DC — October 31, 2011
As the world marks the birth of the 7 billionth child this month, the United Nations Association of the USA (UNA-USA) and its more than 100 chapters around the country are using the historic moment to foster important dialogues about global growth and the vital roles the UN plays in local communities.

“The United Nations is working to address the most pressing challenges facing the world’s 7 billion people: health, peace and security, and environmental sustainability,” said Patrick Madden, executive director, UNA-USA. “UNA-USA chapters have an important role in helping citizens across the U.S. understand how the UN works to guide the world’s conversations and delivers critical solutions to the growing population.”
UN agencies such as the UN Population Fund, UN Environment Programme, and UN Women are at the forefront of working to address the challenges that come with population growth. UNA-USA has stood alongside the UN since its inception, and helped tell the UN story as the population topped 5 billion and 6 billion. As we reach this new global milestone, UNA-USA chapters continue to provide an essential meeting place for Americans to discuss the evolving slate of global issues being addressed by the UN and the United States’ critical role in shaping and delivering solutions.

katastrofa demograficzna, czy nie - jedno mogę wam powiedzieć na pewno.
nadejdzie dla świata taki moment, że przyrost ludności sie zatrzyma i zacznie opadać.
mam jednak nadzieję, że nie stanie się to za mojego życia Smile

Dla Polski przynajmniej, a nawet całej Europy zacznie się to jakoś koło roku 2035 bodajże (nie chce mi się sprawdzać; dane za: GUS).
