Below is a link to a new Population Action International working paper
that explores the relationship between population and climate change. It
is the first in a three part series that will build the knowledge base
on the role of population dynamics in climate change mitigation and
adaptation. The working paper explains:



•           The historic relationship between population growth and
greenhouse gas emissions

•           Weaknesses in previous population projection models and
anticipated population trends

•           The demographic trends that exacerbate vulnerability,
particularly for people in developing countries

•           Recommendations for family planning and reproductive health
care programs that can help solve the problem

Please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to pass it along.

Sincerely,
