Local perceptions of socio-ecological drivers and effects of coastal armoring: the case of Moorea, French Polynesia

In this paper, the authors combine results from a longitudinal research program conducted by marine biologists on the dynamics of the local coastal environment and its vulnerability to multiple anthropogenic stressors alongside an ethnographic survey of residents’ perceptions of coastal armoring in Moorea (French Polynesia) and presents a transdisciplinary study focusing on the socio-ecological mechanisms at play in the alteration of Moorea’s coastline.

Climate Change and Cities

The Urban Climate Change Research Network’s Second Assessment Report on Climate Change in Cities (ARC3.2) is the second in a series of global, science–based reports to examine climate risk, adaptation, and mitigation efforts in cities. The book explicitly seeks to explore the implications of changing climatic conditions on critical urban physical and social infrastructure sectors and intersectoral concerns.

Climate Change Indicators in the United States

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publishes this report to communicate information about the science and impacts of climate change, assess trends in environmental quality, and inform decision-making. The report presents 37 indicators, each describing trends related to the causes and effects of climate change. The report focuses primarily on the United States, but in some cases global trends are presented to provide context or a basis for comparison

Environmental Migration and Social Inequality

This is a collection of leading-edge research from leading international scholars on the link between environmental migration and social/economic inequality. It presents recent mpirical evidence on environmental migration dynamics from Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, China, Ghana, Haiti, Mexico, and Turkey.

Syllabus: ECO 190: World Food Supply, Population, and Environment

Class Syllabus. This course provides students with an understanding of global, national, regional, and local food systems and their relationship to population and the environment. We focus on the impact of human population, migration, disease, and poverty on global food systems. Conventional, organic, local, and indigenous food systems are contrasted economically, environmentally, and socially. Productivity plus environmental and health impacts of these food systems are explored as well as policy responses.

Environmental Change, Adaptation and Migration - Bringing in the Region

In recent years, migration and mobility have increasingly been promoted as one possible adaptive strategy within climate change scenarios and environmental change, and even constituting a solution for locally problematic situations. This edited collection presents empirical and theoretical insights into the current debate on environmental change, adaptation, and migration by analysing these issues from a regional perspective.

Environmental Migration Portal: Knowledge Platform on People on the Move in a Changing Climate

The portal seeks to provide a one-stop service website to promote new research, information exchange and dialogue, intended to fill the existing data, research and knowledge gaps on the migration-environment nexus. The Environmental Migration Portal has been created as part of the "Migration, Environment and Climate Change: Evidence for Policy (MECLEP)" project funded by the European Union.

The Atlas of Environmental Migration

Building on existing knowledge, data and case studies produced over the years by IOM, other international organizations, academia and researchers worldwide, the project will resulted in the first Atlas of Environmental Migration, an innovative tool providing a visual overview of this trend of human migration through maps, illustrations and explanatory texts prepared under the supervision of world experts in this field.

Syllabus: EES100-Human Population and the Global Environment

In this course, by the end of the semester, students are expected to be able to:

- Explain the concepts and principles necessary to evaluate contemporary issues of population growth, natural resource conservation, and environmental protection.
-Understand and be able to explain the broad concepts of demographic transition, industrialization, modernization, common property, and externalities.

Syllabus: SOCY 7017: Population and the Environment

This course provides an overview of social science theory and research relating human population to environmental context. Population processes -- fertility, mortality and migration -- have recriprocal relationships with land, air, and water environments. Through the reading, writing and dialgoue in this class, students will develop a strong foundational understanding of these associations.
