    The world population is growing rapidly and will likely reach over 9 billion people by 2050, placing increasing demands on global resources. Currently, over 780 million people lack access to clean water and 2.5 billion lack adequate sanitation. Food production will need to increase 30% by 2050 to feed the growing population. Energy consumption is also rising worldwide, with global energy use projected to increase 50% by 2030. Managing these escalating resource needs amidst population growth and development challenges will be crucial in the coming decades.
