This is a review article based on a comprehensive review of more than 25 reports produced by development agencies on the subject of climate mobility, and a review of 40 articles or reports on development interventions and programmes related to climate-related migration or associated issues of climate hazard displacement.
This is a conceptual and methodological paper with the objective of identifying possible different options for research into the consequences of migration for adaptation.
This article reviews key findings on the field of environmental dimensions of human migrationvresearch. It also identifies future directions for research.
This article systematically reviews and synthesises academic, peer-reviewed literature focusing upon empirical research that identifies socio-economic factors associated with vulnerable subpopulationsto, to assess the state of knowledge concerning socio-economic vulnerability to climate change impacts and environmental hazards in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia.
This article, part of a series on the environment and human health, focuses on examples where the loss of species and alterations in ecosystems can have an impact on human health'
Chapter titles are: Climate, soil, and terrain limitations to crop production; Land with cultivation potential; Potential for expansion of cultivated land;Cultivation potential in forest ecosystems; Yield and production potentials; Irrigation impact on crop production; Climate change and food production; Population change and arable land.
This Population Bulletin, published in March 1998, examines the likely global impacts of population growth and distribution on food supply, energy consumption, emission of greenhouse gases, forests, oceans, and other environmental factors. The authors review various models developed to explore the complex relationships among population change, consumption levels, resources, and environmental health, and they discuss the various philosophical perspectives that affect the interpretation of model results.
GENUS abstract: The relationship between family structure and fertility on the one hand, and land availability on the other, is a very critical; subject. In fact, the relationship clearly involves a series of macro- and micro-economic, social, cultural and demographic variables; which themselves form the very foundation of rural societies, in both their general and more specific features. We can clarify some aspects of this problem by examining a series of case studies, of European and non-European communities.
GENUS abstract: The relationship between landholdings and fertility is rather complex and there is no unanimity in the conclusions drawn from different studies. This paper carefully reviews the available studies, both theoretical and empirical, on this contested relationship from India. The analysis has been carried out in chronological order to follow the phases of fertility transition particularly in India. The study observed that in a high fertility environment almost all the studies consistently showed a positive association.
This is the online (PDF) version of the latest in WRI's series of books about the state of the global environment. This focuses on key ecosystems: agroecosystems, coastal ecosystems, freshwater ecosystems, and grassland ecosystems. Additional short case studies focus on specific geographic regions. The book is organized into chapters (with text, sidebars and illustrations) for each ecosystem, and a compilation of data tables at the end.
