The 2024 volume of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research focuses on the multifaceted interactions between population and climate change, addressing one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. The volume sheds light on the nexus from various perspectives, encompassing topics such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, the impacts of climate change on health, mobility, and fertility, differential vulnerability to climatic hazards, and issues related to climate justice. Featuring 10 peer-reviewed research articles and 7 thought-provoking debate contributions by distinguished scholars, the volume examines the complex interplay between population and climate across different regions of the world. Using diverse methodological approaches, including empirical methods, models, and projections, the articles showcase the growing need for demographic analysis in climate research.
