联合国:世界人口达到80亿
China Daily
据联合国《世界人口展望2022》报告称,11月15日,地球人口步入“80亿时代”。人口数量增加,从一个侧面反映了人类文明的进步,与此同时,资源消耗、环境污染、城市化等因素正带来持续生态压力。
The world population hit 8 billion on Tuesday, according to the United Nations World Population Prospects 2022.
根据联合国发布的《2022年世界人口展望》,世界人口在2022年11月15日达到80亿。
It is "a milestone in human development," said the UN press release. "This unprecedented growth is due to the gradual increase in human lifespan owing to improvements in public health, nutrition, personal hygiene and medicine."
联合国在新闻稿中说,这是人类发展史上的一个里程碑。全球人口前所未有的增长归因于公共卫生、营养、个人卫生以及医药的改善使人类寿命逐渐延长。
While it took the global population 12 years to grow from 7 to 8 billion, it will take approximately 15 years, until 2037, for it to reach 9 billion, a sign that the overall growth rate of the global population is slowing, said the release.
新闻稿称,全球人口从70亿增长到80亿花了约12年时间,而到2037年达到90亿将需要大约15年的时间,这表明全球人口的总体增长速度正在放缓。
