How to map population Change GHSL Data in R [2024]

In this video, I show you how to map the population change for ANY country in the world using ggplot2 in R. 🗺️We'll use the GHSL population data, which provides high-resolution population rasters for the whole world. 🌎 Then we'll take the difference between the 1990 and 2020 rasters to calculate the population change in each pixel. 🧮 Finally, we'll create a stunning map that reveals the spatial patterns of population change in Romania.
