This workshop was originally scheduled for 17 October with webstreaming. Following the security alert warning in Brussels on 17 October, the workshop was rescheduled to 13 December.
What are the latest world population projections?
How do they impact climate change, environmental sustainability and the economy?
How does this feed into policy design, so that we can better respond to future societal challenges?
Demography experts and policy makers delve into the findings of a global survey launched in June 2023 on the drivers of global demographic change. They then discuss how demographic dynamics could be considered in policymaking.
With introductory remarks by Colin Scicluna, Cabinet of Vice-President Dubravka ŠUICA - Democracy and Demography.
------
The global survey on drivers and consequences of demographic change, was launched in June 2023 by:
- the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC)
- the International Institute for Applied System Analysis (IIASA)
- the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs
In particular, key trends in fertility, migration and mortality were analysed, with considerations on the role of policies.
