About this title

Synopsis

Population and Climate Change provides the first systematic in-depth treatment of links between two major themes of the 21st century: population growth (and associated demographic trends such as aging) and climate change. It is written by a multidisciplinary team of authors from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis who integrate both natural science and social science perspectives in a way that is comprehensible to members of both communities. The book will be of primary interest to researchers in the fields of climate change, demography, and economics. It will also be useful to policy-makers and NGOs dealing with issues of population dynamics and climate change, and to teachers and students in courses such as environmental studies, demography, climatology, economics, earth systems science, and international relations.

Book Description

In this volume a multi-disciplinary team from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis examine, with an open mind and focusing on the problem of global climate change, the dynamics of world population. The book looks at the causes of climate change, the impacts of climate change on human population, and how each would be affected by policies which reduce the rate of population growth. It will be of importance to graduate students, researchers and policy-makers in environmental science, environmental policy, geography and economics.
