Most models predict a population peak around 2050 to 2070, followed by a slow but steady decline.

This decline will happen even without major death events (wars, large natural disasters and so on), as most nations no longer have a classic population pyramid. There are many nations around the woprld in which the number of old people outnumbers the number of young people, often by quite a margin. Also, many nations have a fertility rate below 2 (children per woman), which by itself means a net decline in the long run.
The only exceptions are nations in Saharan and especially Subsaharan Africa and a few nations in Asia.
