Influencing global demographic trends is challenging. Response to demographic change should also focus on adapting policies to the consequences of demographic change, a new JRC report shows.
A newly launched global survey invites demography experts to express their opinion on the consequences of demographic change for climate change, environmental sustainability and the economy, as well as the role of population policies to address them.
New thematic data stories published in the Atlas of Demography explore linkages between demography and air, water and soil pollution. The stories aim to stimulate a discussion about the role of demography in EU policies addressing pollution.
A new study explores the connections, opportunities and challenges of demographic and climate change, and how these can be considered in EU climate policymaking.
The KCMD releases a new edition of the Atlas of Migration, providing easy access to timely, comprehensive and reliable migration data globally. This new edition contains a thematic section on displacement from Ukraine.
A new thematic data story of the Atlas of Demography provides an overview of the demographic challenges of EU Member States and the policy responses they have adopted to address them.
A study of the impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine’s demography shows that the Ukrainian population was already shrinking fast before the invasion. Now the war has set Ukraine on a path of irreversible demographic decline. The authors estimate that the country could be losing over a third of its population by 2052.
A new story of the Atlas of Demography illustrates the links between urbanisation and demographic trajectories: the proportion of people living in cities continues to grow rapidly in world regions and countries with high fertility rates, while urbanisation has slowed down in countries with declining birth rates.
Major demographic transitions are occurring across all world regions, at different paces and with different implications. Important trends are already visible and others are very likely to occur in the coming decades.
A thematic story of the Atlas of Demography looks at the demographics and unemployment levels of the EU’s outermost regions: French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, Reunion Island and Saint-Martin (France), Azores and Madeira (Portugal), and the Canary Islands (Spain).
This report explores the association between climate anomalies, population dynamics, conflict and organised violence in Sudan and South Sudan, at the sub-national level and for the years 1989-2015. The analyses indicate a positive correlation of temperature and precipitation anomalies with conflict and organised violence at the local level.
