Human Population &
Natural Resource Management
The sustainability of
humanity depends in large measure on our ability to
bring mankind into a lasting equilibrium with Nature.
However, while the rate of human population growth is
declining, the absolute number of people on Earth
continues to increase. This places an ever-mounting
pressure on the Earth's limited environmental and
natural resources. This database provides fast access to
the information essential to meeting this seminal
challenge for of the 21st Century. Human Population &
Natural Resource Management explores human population
and demography topics, as well as societal issues
involving natural resource management. Coverage includes
relevant papers, reports, books and reviews from
standard peer-reviewed scientific journals. To ensure
comprehensive coverage, material from conference
proceedings and hard-to-find gray literature has also
been summarized.

Abstract
What distinguishes environmental refugees from
other refugees--or other migrants? Are all
environmental refugees alike? This essay develops
a classification to begin to answer these
questions and facilitate future policies and
research on environmental refugees. Environmental
refugees may have considerable control over the
decision to migrate, but this varies by the type
of environmental disruption. The origin,
intention, and duration of environmental
disruptions shape the type of refugee. Refugees
from disasters and expropriations have limited
control over whether environmental changes will
produce migration. Gradual degradation allows
"environmental emigrants" to determine how they
will respond to environmental change. |
