While researching further out data for /Stralor/will-climate-change-decimate-humans-9f63de4b27a2 and /Stralor/will-climate-change-decimate-humans-a6501c666cd9 , I noticed that the UN had projections for what level the populations of various regions will cap out at. Will these medium-case projections be exceeded?

The relevant section from the 2022 UN Projections:

While population growth in Northern Africa and Western Asia has been slower than in sub-Saharan Africa in recent decades, the region is also projected to continue to grow through the end of this century, adding 221 million people between 2022 and 2050 and another 174 million people between 2050 and 2100.

(This brings their projected total to 771 million)
