Clip from The Population Challenge, a 2012 session from the Aspen ideas Festival. World population passed seven billion in 2011, and both the Aspen Institute and National Geographic magazine explored the meaning of this historic moment in a year-long series of forums and articles. This kick off discussion for the "Our Planet: Seven Billion and Counting" track will take you on a vivid slide show tour of our expanding presence that examines the implication, challenges, and opportunities for humanity as we grow.

Speakers: Helene D. Gayle, Joel Achenbach
