711 World Population Day

According to the recommendation of the 36th session of the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme, World Population Day was established as an international holiday. Next, let me introduce you to the knowledge of World Population Day 711.

1. Time of World Population Day

On July 11th, 1987, the population of the earth reached 5 billion. To commemorate this special day, in 1989, in its decision 89/46, the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme suggested that the international community designate July 11th as World Population Day, so as to focus on the urgent overall population development plan and the solutions to these problems.

in 199, on the recommendation of the 36th session of the UNDP Governing Council, the United Nations decided to designate July 11th as? World Population Day? To arouse people's attention to the population problem. Accordingly, on July 11, 199, it became the first? World Population Day? . On October 31, 211, the world population has reached 7 billion.

II. Origin of World Population Day

On July 11th, 1987, a baby was born in the former Yugoslavia, which was symbolically recognized by the United Nations as the fifth billionth person on earth, and it was announced that the population of the earth had exceeded the 5 billion mark. The United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) proposed to designate this day as "World Population Day of 5 billion". In 199, the United Nations decided to designate July 11th as? World Population Day? To arouse people's attention to the population problem.

According to the recommendation of the 36th session of the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme, in order to attract the attention of governments and people all over the world to the population problem, the United Nations Population Fund requested governments and non-governmental organizations to hold "World Population Day" activities during this period. Since then, all countries in the world have to carry out publicity activities.

At : on February 15th, 1995, a baby weighing 3,7g was born in Beijing Maternity Hospital, announcing the arrival of the 1.2 billionth citizen of China. Less than 2, days before the "1.1 billion population day" on April 11, 1989, the huge population train added 1 million new passengers.

on October 12th, 1999, the world population reached 6 billion, which was determined as the world by the United Nations? 6 billion population day? .

III. Significance of World Population Day

There is still a big difference in the speed of population growth between developing countries and developed countries. The population of developing countries is growing at an annual rate of 1.7%, while that of developed countries is only .4%. Four-fifths of the world's population lives in underdeveloped areas, and 94% of the world's population growth is taking place there.

Controlling population growth and mastering the knowledge and methods of family planning is a crucial factor. On World Population Day, the United Nations Environment Programme reminds the world. Globally, the birth rate and death rate of the population are declining. Today, the world population is 5.8 billion, and it is increasing at an annual rate of 1.48%, that is, the global population is increasing at a rate of 8 million. ? World Population Day is a good opportunity to reflect the relationship between the inhabitants of the earth, their living conditions and the environment.

the population problem is not just a simple topic about abstract population figures, it is related to the living conditions and health problems of the earth's residents? Klaus, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme? Topfer declared. No matter in the world, population is the main factor that causes changes in the surrounding environment and its own living conditions. Maintaining the steady growth of population is increasingly regarded as an important content of environmental sustainable development in regions, countries and the world. Sustainable natural resource productivity and environmental sanitation service facilities are also regarded as the main factors to achieve social population and development goals. The government of a country can help its people protect their living environment and control the family size by formulating policies and providing information.

The possibility of a virtuous circle between population, environment and development is not clear all over the world. All this depends to a great extent on the situation of a particular community and country, the supporting services provided by policies and governments, and the fundamental improvement of women's social and economic status, the popularization of education for girls, the improvement of medical and sanitary conditions, the improvement of the utilization rate of natural resources and the improvement of reproductive medical facilities.

IV. Present situation of world population

The United Nations released a population report, and the world population will reach 9.3 billion in 25. In 184, the total population of the world was 1 billion, and in 1999 it exceeded 6 billion. The world population has increased by 1.2% annually, or about 77 million annually. There are 66 million people over the age of 6 in the world, and it will rise to 2 billion in 25. There will be 4 million elderly people over 8 years old, and there will be 3.2 million elderly people over 1 years old.

it reached 4 billion in 1975; It reached 5 billion in 1987; It reached 6 billion in 1997! Every time the world population increases by 1 billion people, the time required will be shortened to 1 years respectively; 3 years; 15 years; 12 years; Ten years! The train of the world's population is speeding forward at an increasing speed. What is waiting for mankind? The growth of consumption demand has led to ecological imbalance: in order to feed the increasing population, it is necessary to expand cultivated land and pasture for producing food.

The world's arable land was only 45 million hectares (1 hectare = 1, square meters) at the beginning of the 19th century. Since then, with the rapid increase of population, the arable land area has also expanded rapidly, reaching about 1.5 billion hectares, equivalent to 1% of the global land area. In addition, the pasture area is about 3 billion hectares, so the total cultivated land and pasture area accounts for 3% of the land area, and the remaining 5 billion hectares of land are completely unusable deserts and permafrost, and the rest are forests. The rapid increase of cultivated land and pasture has seriously damaged human beings' monopoly use of one-third of the earth's land for their own survival, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to other creatures and leads to the acceleration of species extinction.
