In this paper, the authors investigate how more stringent traffic regulations implemented in Central London from late 2015 affected pollution levels and school absences.
Using unique survey data from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), the paper examines whether men and women differ in their views regarding their support for climate policy and in undertaking climate action in their everyday lives.
This paper provides an original conceptual framework examining whether and how natural disasters exert any influence on nuptiality by drawing on socio-psychology and economics literature contributions.
Individual data, relative to the resident population of Udine, a city in northeastern Italy, under French domination (1806–1815) have been used to explore the effects of the environment on neonatal mortality in the early nineteenth century, controlling for social and economic factors.
This article examines the long-term sociodemographic impacts of that weather event and reveals dramatic changes in fertility, mortality, and nuptialityis based on analysis of church records and population censuses of 22 mountain parishes over a 21-year period.
Using digitised parish records combined with local weather data in northern Sweden from 1880 to 1950, the authors analyse the association between season of birth, temperature and neonatal mortality according to socioeconomic status .
Using administrative data on singleton live births conceived between 2000 and 2016 in Hungary, the authors analyze the impact of in utero temperature exposure on the birth weight and an indicator for low birth weigh.
Accounting for changes in both cold- and heat-related mortality for different age classes, the time dynamics associated with temperature-related mortality, demographic change and the urban heat island effect, this study examines the impacts of climate change on future mortality in the Netherlands and the related economic costs.
Using bilateral data on asylum seeking applications for 157 countries over the period 2006–2015, and a gravity model, the study examines the causal link between climate, conflict and forced migration. The results indicate that climatic conditions, by affecting drought severity and the likelihood of armed conflict, played a significant role as an explanatory factor for asylum seeking in the period 2011–2015.
In this paper, the authors, via an archaeological radiocarbon date series of unprecedented sampling density and detail, consider the long-term relationship between human demography, food production, and Holocene climate.
