Which countries will double their population by 2050?

The World Population Data Sheet (2020) shows that the global population is forecasted to grow from 7.8 billion in 2020 to 9.9 billion by 2050. This level represents a rise of higher than 25 percent from 2020.

More than 50% of the world population growth between now and 2050 is expected to occur in Africa.  Africa has the most significant rate of population increase among other continents.

The population of Sub-Saharan Africa is predicted to double by 2050. Africa to move the world's population towards 10 billion by 2050.

Nowadays, Sub-Saharan Africa is the youngest region globally, where 46 percent of the population is under age 15.

Angola and Benin are forecasted to rise by at least 150 percent of their contemporary population between 2020 and 2050, while Niger's population is supposed to increase by about 175 percent.

Nigeria's population is set to double to more than 400 million by 2050 when it has overtaken the United States as the world's 3rd most populous nation.

Reasons for a predicted doubling in population in Sub-Saharan countries include enhanced quality of life combined with no immediate drop in birth rates.

38 nations, including Armenia, Germany, and South Korea, are forecasted to have a smaller population in 2050 than in 2020.

How Cold Can It Get? The Lowest Temperatures Ever Recorded, Mapped

We often talk about record heat , especially in the context of climate change. But on the flip side, our planet also experiences cold so extreme it defies belief—temperatures that can flash-freeze exposed skin and halt life as we know it. These are not just numbers on thermometers; they’re snapshots of how Earth's atmosphere behaves under specific conditions—altitude, wind patterns, and location far from the moderating effects of oceans. The coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth? That title goes to Vostok Station in Antarctica, where scientists measured a bone-cracking −89.2°C (−128.6°F) on July 21, 1983. Located on the East Antarctic Plateau, Vostok is more than 1,000 kilometers from the South Pole and sits atop about 3.7 kilometers (2.3 miles) of ice. It’s isolated, dry, and high—three ingredients that make for perfect deep freeze conditions. The world map below created by VividMaps shows the lowest temperature ever recorded by country.

Mapping the Hottest Temperatures Ever Recorded on Earth

 When summer arrives, it brings not only vacation season but also some of the most extreme heat waves across the globe. While many people associate summer with warm, sunny days, some regions endure scorching temperatures that push the limits of human endurance. To put these extremes into perspective, we’ve mapped the highest temperatures ever recorded in countries around the world. The maps below, created by Vivid Maps , illustrate these record-breaking temperatures and the patterns of extreme heat across the globe. The Hottest Temperature on Record According to historical weather data, the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth is 56.7°C (134°F) , measured in Death Valley, California , on July 10, 1913 . However, an even higher temperature of 58°C (136.4°F) was reportedly recorded in El Azizia, Libya , on September 13, 1922 . While this Libyan record stood for decades, some meteorologists have questioned its accuracy due to inconsistencies in measurement methods at the ti...
