      abstract = {This paper reports on research undertaken to draft the  report of the Secretary-General on "Integrating  population  issues into sustainable development, including in the  post-2015 development agenda" (E/CN.9/2015/3), presented at  the 48th session of the Commission on Population and  Development, 13- 17 April 2015. This paper examines, at  greater length than the Secretary-General’s report, the  United  Nations’ latest population projections for  countries and regions for the period 2015-2030 - the  implementation period of the 2030 Agenda - in order to  identify the coming challenges to and opportunities for  sustainable development associated with demographic trends  over the near-term. Drawing on the 2015 Revision of World  Population Prospects, it discusses the projected numbers of   births, children of primary-school age, adolescents and  youth, women of reproductive age, older persons and urban  dwellers. By considering these demographic trends within  the context of each country’s existing capacity to meet  the needs of its population, as assessed primarily through  progress achieved  towards the Millennium Development Goals  (MDG) targets, this report identifies where efforts must be   intensified to expand basic services to growing numbers of  people, as well as where population factors are likely to  present opportunities to accelerate development progress.  Moreover, this paper compares recent population growth to  trends in carbon emissions in energy use in order to  understand the implications of demographic trends for  environmental sustainability.},
