Open question to people of Nicaraguan descent ONLY: Are the gringos ruining Nicaragua?

Jul 13, 2010 by C. Christian Mazzolari | Posted in Other - Society & Culture

Population growth stabilising in Jamaica as world reaches seven billion

31.12.69

Anastasia Cunningham, Senior Gleaner Writer

The world has officially passed the seven-billion global population mark, the birth of that child predicted to be in India yesterday.

Arun Kashyap, United Nations (UN) resident coordinator in Jamaica, speaking at the launch of the State of the World Population 2011 Report at the Victoria Jubilee Hospital in downtown Kingston, said it was important to get a better understanding of the impact this rapid growth would have on the planet's resources.

With the UN projecting that the world will reach replacement fertility by 2030, Kashyap said, "The central challenge for us and for the future of the planet and the people is how to raise all of us out of poverty ... while reducing the impact each of us has on the planet."

He added: "An important message is that it is not the numbers or the space, it is how we arrive at a balanced lifestyle that will hold the key to a better future for all of us."
