**Announcing the Winners of the World of 8 Billion Student Video Contest!**

Last month, our Population Education program announced the winners of the 12th annual World of 8 Billion student video contest! More than 4,800 students in grades 6-12 from 45 countries and 47 U.S. states and territories sent in entries.

This year’s contest asked middle and high school students to submit a 1-minute video about how population growth impacts one of the following global challenges: climate change, gender equality, or waste. Each video also needed to share a sustainable solution to the global challenge introduced.

Watch the winning entries—and learn more about the video creators—on the World of 8 Billion site, below!
