The demography of adaptation to climate change
The document consolidates the knowledge, methods, and practices that emerged from the 2010 expert group meeting entitled "Population Dynamics and Climate Change II: Building for Adaptation" organized by UNFPA, IIED and the Colegio de México in Mexico City.
It intends to catalyze action in global, national and local communities around a more informed, data driven adaptation process, and to bring together disparate disciplines, from environment science to planning to social science and beyond. The use of spatial data is at the core of this agenda.
It is divided into three sections: (i) population dynamics and adaptation, key concepts and perspectives; (ii) population data for adaptation, sources and methodologies; and (iii) the planning and practice of adaptation.
