Assumptions for future scenarios  start from observed trends in recent decades and this is also the base for the baseline scenario used in the Rio+20 study ([[PBL, 2012]])). The global population is based on the UN medium projection and grows to about 9 billion people in 2050, the increase mostly occurring in developing countries. The economic projection shows that developing countries increasingly dominate the world economy in terms of total GDP. For the [[OECD]] countries, the baseline scenario assumes a long-term economic growth rate of 1-2% per year over the whole scenario period.  In the short term, per capita growth rates in Asia and Latin America are much higher, but they start to converge gradually to a long-term growth rates of around 2% per year. Africa, in contrast, shows a later peak in economic growth.
