The World In 2050

It is estimated that come the middle of this century the Earth will likely be home to 9 billion people, that’s an additional 2 billion people consuming ever more resources and leading more technologically complex lives. This additional strain on the planet is sure to either make or break us with regards to how we handle this extra demand.

How will our cities evolve? How do we feed these extra mouths? and what impact will this growth in population have on out environment? Will we as a species be able to engineer our way out of the world climate crisis?

Future demographics are estimated to look quite different from todays. Rockefeller University mathematical biologist Joel Cohen believes that by the year 2050 the majority of people alive will be living in urban areas and the average age will be a lot higher than it is today.

The World In 2050 explores many of these questions in the search for better understanding our future as a species on this world.

  2. May I simply just say what a comfort to discover someone that truly understands what they’re discussing over the
    internet. You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and
    make it important. A lot more people really need to check this out and understand this side of the story.

  4. This is a total fantasy. The makers are deluded if they think climate change is not going to affect everything they dream of. Truly bizarre doco that totally ignores the reality of global warming and what is coming down the pipe.

  5. Wired? BBC? What the hell is this retro-futuristic babble w Shell & other mainstream/simple-minded already outdated options for humanity’s future? No mention of the deep-rooted causes of our crises. Pitiful documentary that is a love-fest for corporations/institutions who helped create the current crises of global warming, climate change, climate chaos, depletion of resources, pollution & species extinction. This documentary was a waste of time.

    • This is going to sound dumb I know. But since covid WILL persist and with the speed at which new variants are being created, the virus itself might solve the over-population in many countries before it becomes an official worldwide problem.
