This project extends the CDM’s capabilities to contextualize responses to environmental risks, and to generate more precise spatial distributions of demographic heterogeneity, which will contribute to important assessments of various populations’ exposure and vulnerability.

Understanding the impact of climate change on employment, livelihoods, safety, health, housing, and access to basic services is critical for designing and implementing inclusive and effective interventions and policies..The Community Demographic Model (CDM) is a population projection system that simulates and projects major demographic trends at the community level. Population Council leadership retained me to consult on two strategic planning processes.The first project was a three-year plan, funding analysis, and board presentation for the newly appointed Vice President of the Council’s Poverty, Gender and Youth program.

In 2016, the Population Council began to develop evidence on how to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable populations to adapt to environmental risks and the effects of extreme climate change. Teams from each country work together to establish cross-cutting themes and complementary pathways within a conceptual framework, in addition to country-specific gaps and needs. Rural to urban migration is a climate change adaptation strategy that poses high risks for young women due to unsafe transit and risky urban environments.
In 2018, the Population Council expanded this work with the launch of the Population, Environmental Risk, and Climate Change (PERCC) research initiative—which deepens the Council’s mission with a new institutional commitment to improving understanding of the intersection of population … This intra-Council initiative is examining the effects of climate change on fertility and reproductive health outcomes in Zambia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Mexico.

Communities that contribute the least to creating climate change, meaning they produce the lowest CO2 emissions, are disproportionately bearing the burden of the adverse effects of climate change—such as food shortages due to drought or forced migration after a natural disaster.
