Organization profile

The Population and Environment Research Group conducts interdisciplinary research, analysis, and scientific studies on the reciprocal relationships between population dynamics and the environment. The group addresses key issues such as unsustainable patterns of production and consumption that degrade essential natural resources, population growth, composition and distribution, food insecurity, housing access, public health, tropical diseases, human mobility, and environmental sustainability.

Through evidence-based research, the group contributes to a better understanding of the interactions between human societies and environmental systems, supporting sustainable development and informed public policy.
