Special Issue of World Journal Explores the Intersections of Population Change, Environment, and Economy

In a world grappling with the complexities of population dynamics and its far-reaching impacts, the recent special issue of World Journal provides fresh insights on the challenges of population change. Distributed online by MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute) and published quarterly, World is “an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal on past, present, and future links between economic, political, social, and/or environmental issues.” World’s Special Issue Population Change and Its Impact on the Environment, Society, and Economy was published in September.  The guest editors for the journal’s special issue were Dr. Jane Nancy O’Sullivan (School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, University of Queensland) and Dr. Celine Delacroix (Population Institute, Washington, D.C.). In describing the work, they shared: “This Special Issue aims to collate perspectives from a range of disciplines and geographic zones on the interactions between environmental, social, and economic impacts of population change. It aims to examine potential policies that might be implemented to address population change and their likely impacts, seeking to build a more holistic understanding of policy options.”

This comprehensive exploration of population change and its impact underscores the urgency of integrating population policies into broader sustainability strategies. In essence, this comprehensive special issue offers a rich resource for scholars, policymakers, and the general public interested in the multi-faceted impacts of population change.
