World Population Day
July 11
The Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme established World Population Day (https://www.unfpa.org/swop-2014) in 1989, seeking to raise awareness of global population issues. The inspiration for this annual event was public interest in Five Billion Day, July 11, 1987, when the world’s population reached approximately five billion people.
