Hans Rosling: Hans Rosling om global befolkningstillväxt

Hans Rosling om global befolkningstillväxt

Världens befolkning kommer växa till 9 miljarder under de kommande 50 åren. Bara genom att de  fattigastes levnadsstandard höjs, kan befolkningstillväxten kontrolleras. Detta är det paradoxa svar Hans Rosling ger på TED@Cannes genom att använda ny, färgglad datavisualiseringsteknologi (du kommer få se).

Global population has doubled since 1960, reaching nearly seven billion by 2010, with most growth in poorer regions. The divide between the richest and poorest is now wider, but the middle is expanding as more countries emerge from poverty. Improving child survival rates and raising living standards for the poorest billion are the keys to stabilizing population growth. Only by investing in health, education, and green technology can the world reach a sustainable future.
