Mudanças Climáticas e População: Uma Revisão da Literatura

Inglês Revisão da literatura PAI Global das Alterações Climáticas, Planejamento familiar, População

There is a sizeable body of literature that explores the connections between population and climate change and family planning as a link between the two. Overall, family planning has been proposed as both a means of preventing further climate change by slowing population growth, and thereby reducing consumption, and as a tool to equip vulnerable individuals, households, communities, and countries to better manage the challenges of a warming world. The following review summarizes the academic literature, conference papers, and UN reports from the last decade, exploring the background of these two perspectives, with an emphasis on family planning as a strategy of climate change adaptation, particularly for women.

Climate Change and Family Planning: Least-Developed Countries Define the Agenda

This paper analyzes the first 40 National Adaptation Programmes of Action reports submitted by governments of least-developed countries to the Global Environment Facility for funding. Of these documents, 93% identified at least one of three ways in which demographic trends interact with the effects of climate change: (i) faster degradation of the sources of natural resources; (ii) increased demand for scarce resources; and (iii) heightened human vulnerability to extreme weather events. These findings suggest that voluntary access to family planning services should be made more available to poor communities in least-developed countries. The article stresses the distinction between this approach, which prioritizes the welfare of poor communities affected by climate change, versus the argument that population growth should be slowed to limit increases in global carbon emissions. The paper concludes by calling for increased support for rights-based family planning services, including those integrated with HIV/AIDS services, as an important complementary measure to climate change adaptation programmes in developing countries.

By Slowing Population Growth, Family Planning Can Help Address Food Insecurity and Climate Change

Slowing the rapid growth of human population through strengthened voluntary family planning services would powerfully and inexpensively contribute to improvements in food security and the reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. A confluence of long-term environmental and population trends is undermining world food availability and driving climate change. These trends include quickening climate changes and difficulty adapting to its effects; widespread depletion of water, soils and fisheries; increased diversion of grains from human consumption to bio-fuel production and livestock and poultry feed; rapid population growth, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia; and increasing affluence in middle income countries.

Building Socio-ecological Resilience to Climate Change through Community-Based Coastal Conservation and Development: Experiences in Southern Madagascar

Climate change impacts fall disproportionately on the world’s poorest, most marginalised communities, particularly those highly dependent on direct use of natural resources, such as subsistence fishing communities. Vulnerability to climate change involves social and ecological factors, and efforts to reduce it and build long-term resilience must target both. In Madagascar, generalised strategies developed at the national level address vulnerability, adding to a variety of international initiatives. Yet, such high-level planning inevitably remains vague and indeterminate for most of the island’s coastal communities, with little meaningful implementation on the ground. Therefore, local measures to build resilience and adaptive capacity are critical to ensure that resource-dependent communities are able to cope with the immediate and long-term effects of climate change. Examination of an integrated population-health-environment (PHE) programme in Madagascar, comprising a locally-managed marine area (LMMA) and socio-economic development activities, illustrates how practical initiatives can contribute to building immediate and long-lasting resilience and adaptive capacity. Such community-based approaches should play a key role in adaptation measures within the western Indian Ocean region, where many coastal communities live in severe poverty on the front line of a rapidly changing climate.

Building Resilience Through Family Planning and Adaptation Finance Webinar

The impacts of climate change—climbing temperatures, extreme weather, drought, shifting rainfall patterns, and rising sea levels—are intensifying around the world. These impacts threaten to undo development progress in poor and vulnerable communities, where rapid population growth and unmet need for family planning contribute to limited capacity to adapt. This webinar provides an overview of the climate finance landscape and explore strategies that the family planning community can use to join with others in efforts to build resilience to climate change impacts. Speakers and participants shared views on ways to forge partnerships for multisectoral climate adaptation projects that are eligible for multilateral climate change adaptation funding. Experiences and perspectives shared may also be useful for other organizations seeking to access this type of climate adaptation funding.

Building Resilience Through Family Planning and Adaptation Finance

A growing evidence base links women’s met needs for family planning with reduced human vulnerability to climate change and enhanced resilience in the face of climate change impacts. Yet, thus far, population and family planning have been largely left out of adaptation proposals and projects. The PRB policy brief identifies four key strategies the FP/RH community can use to promote inclusion of family planning in adaptation strategies in ways that build resilience, improve health, and enhance women’s economic empowerment. The policy brief includes an example of how to apply these key strategies to a real-world adaptation initiative, showing how the FP/RH community could seize opportunities created by the importance of adapting to climate change and the growing availability of international climate financing to strengthen prospects for FP/RH’s inclusion in multisectoral adaptation plans.

Áreas de Biodiversidade Ameaçadas: Sobreposição de Mudanças Climáticas e Pressões Populacionais nas Prioridades de Biodiversidade do Mundo

Os seres humanos e os serviços ecossistêmicos dos quais dependem estão ameaçados pelas mudanças climáticas. Locais com população humana alta ou em crescimento, bem como crescente variabilidade climática, têm uma capacidade reduzida de fornecer serviços ecossistêmicos, assim como a necessidade desses serviços é mais crítica. Uma espiral de vulnerabilidade e degradação do ecossistema geralmente ocorre nesses locais. Aplicamos diferentes esquemas de conservação global como proxies para examinar a relação espacial entre a precipitação da estação chuvosa, a mudança populacional ao longo de três décadas e a conservação dos recursos naturais. A identificação de áreas de risco climático e populacional e sua sobreposição com as prioridades de conservação pode ajudar a direcionar atividades e recursos que promovam a biodiversidade e os serviços ecossistêmicos, ao mesmo tempo em que melhoram o bem-estar humano.

Grandes Questões Merecem Respostas Ousadas: População e Mudanças Climáticas no Sahel

Partes da África têm o crescimento populacional mais rápido do mundo. Além disso, estudos recentes de climatologistas sugerem que, nas próximas décadas, áreas ecologicamente vulneráveis da África, incluindo o Sahel, estarão expostas aos efeitos adversos mais severos do aquecimento global. Felizmente, existem políticas viáveis baseadas em evidências que podem melhorar muito o que de outra forma seria uma catástrofe de magnitude impressionante. Mas para ter sucesso, tais medidas devem ser tomadas imediatamente e em grande escala. Juntos, o rápido crescimento populacional e as mudanças climáticas representam uma séria ameaça à subsistência da maioria dos cem milhões de pessoas que agora vivem na região do Sahel e cerca de duzentos milhões a mais que viverão lá dentro de uma geração. Este documento incentiva o trabalho em silos para enfrentar esses desafios inter-relacionados.
