Population, environment and development 2001
(Wall Chart)
Concerns about the consequences of environmental change have
ascended to the top of the international agenda, and have brought in their wake renewed
attention to the complex interrelationships between population, environment and
development. In recognition of this fact, the Population Division of the Department of
Economic and Social Affairs has issued the first-ever United Nations Wall chart on
population, environment and development.
The wall chart features new demographic data from the 2000 Revision of the United
Nations population estimates and projections. The demographic data include total
population and population density, as well as total, urban and rural growth rates for all
countries of the world. The chart also presents the most up-to-date key environmental and
development indicators from other United Nations and outside sources regarding fresh
water, forests, agriculture and nutrition, poverty and economic development, energy
consumption, number of motor vehicles, carbon dioxide emissions and participation in
international treaties relating to the environment.
