Population growth can have various effects on the environment and society. As population density increases, pollution and the spread of diseases can occur. Competition for resources can lead to conflict and social unrest. Infrastructure can become strained due to increased demand for housing, transportation, and other needs. Overpopulation can also lead to increased unemployment and economic strain. Additionally, population growth can lead to increased consumption of non-renewable resources, pollution, and depletion of natural resources . This can cause environmental concerns such as global warming, deforestation, and decreasing biodiversity.
Some of the other concerns of population growth are:
It is difficult to estimate a specific population upper limit that can support healthy wildlife and vegetation diversity because it depends on various factors such as the ecosystem type, climate, and human activities. According to a study by researchers at the University of Adelaide, the optimal population size in the vicinity of 1.5 – 2 billion people would be able to satisfy human needs while keeping ecosystems and resources intact. However, it is important to note that reducing consumption and modifying our current global food system are crucial steps towards preserving biodiversity "Because these environmental impacts are all directly related to human numbers, recent estimates of a sustainable human population tend to put forward much lower numbers, between to and 4 billion."
