The statistical website Worldometers.info also indicated that the population has approached the 8 billion people limit.
The Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund, Natalia Kanem, sees the global population reaching eight billion as a "significant event for humanity", welcoming the increase in life expectancy and the reduction in infant and maternal mortality. And she adds, "However, I realize that this is not a moment that everyone necessarily celebrates. Some are concerned about a world crowded with too many people and insufficient resources to live on," calling for not to "be afraid" of this number, according to the "dw" website.
