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:

The population of Oceania is projected to continue to grow through the end of the century. The total population of the region, excluding Australia and New Zealand, is expected to increase from 13.6 million in 2022 to 19.6 million in 2050 and 24.6 million in 2100. Australia and New Zealand, which are home to 31.2 million people in 2022, could see their population grow to 38.1 million in 2050 and 44.2 million in 2100, according to the medium scenario.
