"The global population was projected to peak in 2064 at 9·73 billion (8·84–10·9) people and decline to 8·79 billion (6·83–11·8) in 2100."

Baseline of 9.73 billion.

"China was forecasted to become the largest economy by 2035 but in the reference scenario, the USA was forecasted to once again become the largest economy in 2098"

That sounds like they they forecast war?

Also

"meeting the Sustainable Development Goals targets for education and contraceptive met need would result in a global population of 6·29 billion (4·82–8·73) in 2100"

Is the 2.4 billion people missing people a form of genocide or just good heath?

They explained their methodology on forecasting these populations by factors such as birth rates, migration, and mortality rates. Where did you read the part that mentioned wars?
> That sounds like they they forecast war?

Err why would you say this? You can read the report and it explains the falling fertility rate in China.

> Is the 2.4 billion people missing people a form of genocide or just good heath?

It's different projections based on different fertility rates.

That's an extraordinarily insulting claim to those who actually have suffered genocide.
