INQ-120 | 2050: Ten Billion People

Full Title: 2050: Ten Billion People

Topic Description:

By 2050, ten billion people may inhabit the Earth, all needing access to essential but limited resources, such as water, food, and medicine. Unfortunately, not all of those people will have equal access to these resources, as they are not distributed evenly around the planet. In this section of INQ 120, we will ask the question – given these facts – “Can ten billion people live ‘good lives’ when resources are limited?”

Counts as Global? No
