Bear in mind the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, set in 2010 (and reviewed every 5yrs) have (all x20) announced last week, missed their planned targets.

The big question is (as the UN misses all x20 of it's sustainability goals, again) is what can be done about it? I.e. What level of intervention should be used (by the elite, wealthy and powerful, the average Joe & Jane has no sway or influence in this). What type of 'clean' reduction intervention (this rules out any unclean wars which would contaminate soil for generations). One has to consider what is the ideal population level, bearing in mind the rise of automation and coming redundancy of traditional human assets as labour, even many mid-level skilled folks.

The biggest issue and projection is for the developing world. Already the estimate for e.g. Africa is to double to 2.5bn between now and 2050, about x5 that of Europe (Europe will remain at 500m or so between now, and 2050), assuming there are not future mass migration factors to contend with. The global projection stands at 9bn for 2040, this isn't reversable in any easy sense, it will reduce towards 2100, but the UN Sustainability targets (already all missed) will be shredded to peices, well before then.

Fertility levels are down dramtically in the West, various possilbe reasons, poor diets, obesity, toxins including heavy metals such as aluminium, mercury, thimerosal and squalene as adjuvants and so on.
Avalyn Unimportant Trader wrote: » The 2040 projections are assumed as more or less steadfast already, due to recent, current, and projected birth rates (it's 2020 now). The world projection for 9bn isn't going to change much, unless you're going to suggest some sudden force majeure levels of intervention.
