if we share the existing landmass equaly among all humans, you still have about 2-3 football pitches of personal space :)

and happily we will reach peak population at about 10-11 billions, according to current projections, as the main growth countries start to slow down already, even india and nigeria. other countries have already entered a steep decline (almost all of europe, russia, many countries in asia - and the economic effects are already also troubling to those - thailand has a rapidly aging population for example)

Africas Population is expected to reach 2,466,647,618 by 2050 from 1,595,679,113 now.

The average carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions per person in Africa is approximately 1.19 metric tons per capita (or about 0.8 to 1 ton depending on the specific dataset and year)

So Europe with 500m has still about 6x as much as of today as all of Africa combined 🫣 and if we plot it historically much, much worse.

True, but Africas Population is expected to reach 1,6 Tons per Person which results in an 124% increase compared to today.

Putting that another way the per capita emissions would have to decrease by 40% until 2050 to maintain the same total emissions output of the continent. Which is basically impossible given the low inital values.
