Issues in Global Human Inequality

There are many who believe that climate change is closely intertwined with the population of the planet, and that the two together will have mutually-reinforcing negative consequences for human capabilities. In fact, the world's population structure is changing, but in ways that throw up a surprising set of challenges that are not obvious.

What are the implications of contemporary urbanization?

Migration is far more complex than most people realize, but it is only by understanding its complexity that we can begin to understand ways to more humanely manage the process of migration.

Is there any basis by which to support the idea that the world's resources cannot support the world's population?

In fact, the world's population structure is changing, but in ways that throw up a surprising set of challenges that are not obvious.

If the rate of population growth has been declining since 1972, and declining rates of growth of population are driven by declining fertility rates, why are fertility rates in decline around the world?

What have been global trends in population over the course of the last 75 years, and what will they be until the end of the century?

The capacity to enlarge human capabilities and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals is severely circumscribed by the climate crisis.

Can the Paris Agreement solve the climate crisis?

The capacity to enlarge human capabilities and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals is severely circumscribed by the climate crisis.

Given the scale of the climate crisis, why have the countries of the world remained wedded to liberal, market-based approaches to global environmental governance?

If the evidence that climate change has accelerated is irrefutable, why do people deny its veracity or downplay its severity?

It is only possible to understand climate change if we understand that global human inequality effects and reflects global carbon inequality.
