Most of our data for population came from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division. The UNDESA allows for custom data queries through their website, through which information can be acquired for specific countries or larger regions for many different datasets, including total population and population growth. This tool takes data from the UN's World Population Prospects 2017, so the data is reliable and carefully compiled.
Our data for health expenditure per capita and CO2 emissions per capita came from World Bank Open Data. This is a collection of data from scientific sources, such as the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, where the data for CO2 emissions per capita was obtained from, or the World Health Organization, where the data for health expenditure is obtained from. The World Bank has compiled this data, and data for many other interesting factors, many of which are related to population, in their online data set, which can easily be accessed and visualized in numeric or graphical form.
We got our data for carrying capacity by analyzing the data from many different scientists compiled by the UNEP Global Environmental Alert Service in their report "One Planet, How Many People: A Review of Earth’s Carrying Capacity." We chose the value of 10 million, which we thought was a good average of the predictions of scientists, based on the data presented in the report.
