The Demography of Adaptation to Climate Change

This technical document emerged from the results of an expert group meeting held in at El Colegio de México in Mexico City, October 2010, entitled “Population Dynamics and Climate Change II: Building for Adaptation.” The meeting was organized by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and El Colegio de México, with support and contributions by other partners. The book analyses the linkages between population dynamics and climate response. In particular section 1 focuses on key concepts and perspectives of population dynamics and adaptation, section 2 on sources and methodologies of population data for adaptation, and section 3 on the planning and practice of adaptation.
