Global Population and Environment

Global population refers to the total number of people living on Earth. As the population grows, it impacts the environment by increasing demand for resources like food, water, and energy. This often leads to deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. A larger population can strain ecosystems and contribute to climate change through higher greenhouse gas emissions. Managing this balance involves sustainable practices and responsible resource use to ensure a healthy planet for current and future generations. Understanding the link between population growth and environmental health is crucial for creating effective policies and solutions.
