India, China, and Nigeria are the countries with the largest number of population growth.

UN Secretary -General Gutres said that the number of global population reaching 8 billion is a digital milestone, but the new crown epidemic, climate crisis, war and conflict are also constantly occurring, and the world needs to build a sustainable and inclusive future for 8 billion people.
