Supplementary notes

*Estimates. The source uses UN estimates from its World Population Prospects report from 2015; the most recent version of the report (2020) does not give estimates for each year, but at five year intervals. The most recent report is consistent with estimates for when the population will reach eight, nine, and ten billion people respectively, however figures do not reach 11 billion in the 2020 report.
