Invitation | 18.01.2024BiB Population Research Series

Raya Muttarak is Professor of Demography, Department of Statistical Sciences „Paolo Fortunati“ at the University of Bologna. Prof. Muttarak is a Principal investigator of the ERC Consolidator Grant: POPCLIMA Population Dynamics under Global Climate Change (2022-2026).

Abstract

Although it is highly plausible that climate change will also affect population trends, existing global population projections have so far not taken into account the climate feedback on demographic processes. The aim of this project is to review the evidence on the impact of climate factors on fertility, mortality and migration, and to consider whether population projections need to take into account the climate feedback on demographic processes. Given the ambitious nature of this project and the urgency of understanding the impact of climate on population dynamics, an interdisciplinary exchange is needed to better understand such mechanisms.

Location

The event will take place on the 3rd floor of the BiB in presence and online as a Webex conference.
