Climate change
Highlighting the links between population increase and climate change is as a key area of activity for PSN.
We staged a highly successful ministerial conference on the topic in March 2010 (the Climate Change Symposium), and are now providing the secretariat for the International Population and Climate Change Alliance (PCCA).

Research
PSN seeks to raise understanding of population issues in policy planning through targeted research initiatives.
Our research initiatives aim to improve understanding of the dynamics of population growth in the 21st Century. It is hoped that findings from the research will help to remove barriers that inhibit debate and prevent action.
