No, the noun 'world', and the noun phrase 'the world' are common nouns. The phrase 'the world' is a general word for the planet on which we live; all of the people who inhabit the planet (mankind); the society in which one lives or something exists (the world of fashion, the world of academia, the world of politics, etc.)

A common noun is capitalized only when it is the first word in a sentence.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing. The proper noun for the common noun 'the world' as a word for the planet on which we live is Earth.
