Join us for a webinar launching the Community Demographic Model (CDM) website, a new open access and interactive resource with applications for policy-relevant population modeling in relation to climate change.Climate change is a complex and challenging problem, increasingly recognized as a significant threat to human health and wellbeing. To investigate the mutual impacts between climate change and population, it is essential to have scenario-based projections of both that can be linked.The Community Demographic Model (CDM), supported by the Population Council’s Population, Environmental Risks, and the Climate Crisis (PERCC) Initiative is a set of analytic tools that produce demographic projections and elucidate past, current, and future trends in household formation, urbanization, and multiregional population interactions at global, national, and local levels. These outcomes, linked with climate projections, can illuminate different communities’ resilience, vulnerability, and capacity to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.Dec 1. 10:30 AM ET
