 PEOPLE

 PEOPLE
AND THE
ENVIRONMENT
Humans and the
environment, in which our
daily lives take place are
intricately interwoven.
Environment is an
essential aspect of our
lives, providing the air we
breathe, the water we
drink, and the food we
eat.
 IMPORTANCE OF
ENVIRONMENT
CONSERVATION

Environmental
conservation is vital for
the survival of our
planet. Neglecting it can
have severe
consequences that
affect not only us but
also future generations.
 THE HUMAN
IMPACT ON THE
ENVIRONMENT

Human activities
have had a
profound impact on
the environment,
with many negative
consequences for
our planet and its
inhabitants.
ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT ON
PEOPLE

As we continue to
degrade our
environment, we are also
putting ourselves at risk.
Many people rely on
natural resources for their
livelihoods, such as
fishing or farming, and
when those resources
become scarce or
polluted, their income
and way of life are
threatened.

Human population
growth
 population growth
❑ The rise in the number of people on
Earth
❑ It is typically measured as a
percentage increase in the
population size over a set period,
such as a year, and can be influenced
by factors such as birth rates, death
rates, immigration, and emigration
❑ Sustainable management of
population growth is an important
consideration for governments and
policymakers to ensure the
well-being and quality of life for their
citizens.

 Population growth formula

Annual population growth rate for year t is the exponential rate of

growth of midyear population from year t-1 to t, expressed as a
percentage . Population is based on the de facto definition of
population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or
citizenship.

Population Prospects
Annual growth rate
reached its peak in the
late 1960s, when it was at
around 2%. The rate of
increase has nearly
halved since then and will
continue to decline in the
coming years.
World population will
therefore continue to
grow in the 21st century,
but at a much slower rate
compared to the recent
past.

• Increases the number of environmental resources being extracted
• Increased the use of fossil fuels to produce electricity, for fuel
industrial processes, and power transportation
• Increased the use of freshwater for industrial activities, agriculture,
recreation, and drinking
• Increasing environmental effects of ecology
• Fishing and hunting are being increased, which is reducing the
