The United Nations' latest report forecasts that the global population will reach a peak of 10.3 billion by the mid-2080s, slightly decreasing to 10.2 billion by 2100.

The report suggests this earlier and lower peak offers hope for easing environmental pressures amid global warming. Over 63 countries, including China and Japan, have already seen population peaks, with more expected to follow.
