Excerpt

This special issue features original research presented at the conference, Demographic Responses to Changes in the Natural Environment held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in October 2019.1 The conference aimed to extend research on environmental demography and provide timely new information about how environmental changes and events are shaping individual decisions related to core concerns among demographers, namely migration, mortality and morbidity, and fertility and family formation. In this special issue, we feature selected work originating from this conference. The papers presented here represent some of the many scholarly perspectives shaping our current understanding of the population-environment nexus. …
