The Day of Seven Billion, October 31, 2011, is the day that has been officially designated by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) as the approximate day on which the world's population reached seven billion people.〔(World Population Prospects, the 2008 Revision Frequently Asked Questions ) Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat updated November 10, 2010. Retrieved January 26, 2011〕 United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is to speak at the United Nations building in New York City on this new milestone in the size of world population and the issues that it will raise, along with promoting the UNFPA's new program named 7 Billion Actions,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Day of 7 Billion )〕 which will seek to "build global awareness around the opportunities and challenges associated with a world of seven billion people" and inspire individuals and organizations to take action.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About 7 Billion Actions )〕 == Background ==
The world had already reached a population of five billion on on July 11, 1987, and six billion twelve years later on October 12, 1999. United Nations Population Fund spokesman Omar Gharzeddine disputed the date of the Day of Six Billion by stating, "The U.N. marked the '6 billionth' () in 1999, and then a couple of years later the Population Division itself reassessed its calculations and said, actually, no, it was in 1998."〔
