A Quick Trip to 8 Billion poster

Colorful, informative poster makes the perfect classroom wall decoration – it inspires conversations and questions. What historic events made it possible for our human population to reach 8 billion? What does it mean for the Earth’s environment and our human systems to have 8 billion people on the planet?

On one side of the wall chart you’ll find a timeline with photographs, demographic data points, and visual displays showing the causation behind changing birth and death rates that brought us to a global family of 8 billion in 2022.

The other side of the wall chart uses a variety of infographics to show the challenges we face as human numbers continue to increase – from meeting basic human needs to the delicate balance of natural ecosystems.
