Could future maps give us a glimpse of what the world's population will look like in 2100?

Our experts are drawing up maps which can be used to predict the impact of climate change on the distribution of Earth’s population.

Want the secret to stunning maps like this Switzerland hillshade & population visualization?

My latest YouTube tutorial shows you exactly how!

A detailed thematic map of Switzerland visualizing 2020 population distribution using a logarithmic color scale over a shaded relief background. Bright orange and yellow tones indicate high population density areas like Zurich, Geneva, and Basel, while purple and black tones highlight sparsely populated alpine regions. The map includes a north arrow, population legend, and scale bar (80 km). Elevation is represented through 3D hillshading derived from SRTM data. Data sources: WorldPop 100m constrained grid (2020); SRTM via the elevatr R package. Map design: Milos Popovic (YouTube: Milos Makes Maps).
