As populations in India and Africa continue to grow, they face the challenges of climate change. India’s population is estimated to be 1.425 billion, potentially surpassing China’s, while Africa has the fastest-growing and youngest population.

The growth in population can be seen as a benefit, as it is accompanied by improved public health and a lack of burden from an aging population. However, the reliance on exporting natural resources hinders development, and African countries need to focus on diversifying their economies. Despite these challenges, the continent’s youth show promise in addressing climate change and driving innovation for a prosperous future.
