In 2022, the population of Beijing experienced a negative natural population growth of minus 0.05 per 1,000 people, the first time the population has gone backwards since 2003. The death rate rose to 5.72 deaths and the birthrate fell to 5.67 births per 1,000 demonstrating the economic and social factors behind China's falling birthrate.

"By 2050, to put it in brutal terms, the extra humans on the planet will weigh a little over 100 million tonnes, while, unless the current trend is disrupted, the extra farm animals will weigh 400 million tonnes. The real #populationcrisis is not the growth in human numbers, but the growth in livestock numbers."

"A South Korean woman can now expect to have an average of 0.78 children in her lifetime – the lowest level since records were first kept in 1970 – making South Korea the only country in the world with a fertility rate below one."

South Korea’s birthrate sinks to fresh record low as population crisis deepens

Latest statistics show 249,000 babies were born in 2022, a fall of 4.4% from the previous year

The Guardian

China in 2022 faces a crisis like never before
More deaths than births and economic war
An unforeseen consequence, leaving a strain
Matching the world's mightier powers is the aim
But a shrinking population could slow this fight
The trend may bring a global economic blight
An elderly population and waning growth rate

未富先老、人口危机:一个“世界从未见过的中国”

2022年中国死亡人数超过出生人数,这是自上世纪60年代初以来的第一次。人口危机将对中国经济产生直接、紧迫的影响,也可能将深刻地重塑全球经济。

@Andy_Scollick it's taken forever to get climate change on the map, and many have had their backs turned. As you know, it's not even (yet) the most serious of the planetary boundary breaches. I think these two images capture the essence of the problem.
