This is a repository of global and regional human population data collected from: the databases of scenarios assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Sixth Assessment Report, Special Report on 1.5 C; Fifth Assessment Report), multi-national databases of population projections (World Bank, International Database, United Nation population projections), and other very long-term population projections (Resources for the Future). More specifically, it contains: - in `other_pop_data` folder files from World Bank, the International Database from the US Census, and from IHME - in the `SSP` folder, the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, as in the version 2.0 downloaded from IIASA and as in the version 3.0 downloaded from IIASA workspace - in the `UN` folder, the demographic projections from UN - `IAMstat.xlsx`, an overview file of the metadata accompanying the scenarios present in the IPCC databases - `RFF.csv`, an overview file containing the population projections obtained by Resources For the Future '- the remaining `.csv` files with names `AR6#`, `AR5#`, `IAMC15#` contain the IPCC scenarios assessed by the IPCC for preparing the IPCC assessment reports. They can be downloaded from AR5, SR 1.5, and AR6 This data in intended to be downloaded for use together with the package downloadable here. The dataset was used as a supporting material for the paper "Underestimating demographic uncertainties in the synthesis process of the IPCC" accepted on npj Climate Action (DOI : 10.1038/s44168-024-00152-y).

Climate change is worsening the number, frequency and duration of natural hazards across the globe, making disaster risk reduction and resilience building among the most pressing challenges ahead. According to UN-Habitat, informal settlements are where the impacts of climate change are the most acute in urban areas and strengthening resilience in these neighbourhoods represents a very complex yet urgent challenge. Today, urban areas are home to 56 per cent of the world’s population and this figure is projected to increase to 60 per cent by 2030 and 68 per cent by 2050, with 90 per cent of the growth by 2050 expected to occur in less developed economies. In these countries, population growth and displacement (including climate-driven migrations) will lead to rapid and unplanned urbanisation forcing a growing number of people into informal settlements. Currently, one billion people live in informal settlements, mostly in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and this figure is expected to grow to 3 billion in 2050.

The diversification of rural economy activities and the farms’ vertical integration must be flexible and based on market dynamics. To improve the vertical and horizontal integration across agri-food value chains, policies should be designed in a way that addresses vertical and horizontal coordination in a synergic manner. In this position paper, the Multi-Actor Platform Transylvania sets out the main challenges with respect to the creation of resilient and sustainable value chains in the region. It also proposes solutions to these problems starting from the current situation in the field.

This position paper is the results of the work carried out by the Zielone Sąsiedztwo Multi-Actor Platform, which reflect on sustainability and resilience of value chains and entrepreneurship given the current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions challenging the value chains and enterprises in an unprecedented way. The document outlines the need of policies because these are not sufficient and must be significantly strengthened and reshaped to offer effective response to the challenges faced by rural areas.

Climate change evidences a clear fragilisation of human rights, especially in territories already experiencing greater exposure to the effects of climate change and less resilience due to existing socioeconomic contexts. The interconnected realities of climate change and the contexts of poverty, food insecurity and conflict have differential consequences for women and girls, exacerbated by situations of forced migration. This study reflects on international legal avenues to address, on the one hand, the lack of international legal recognition of climate migration and, on the other, the absence of a gender perspective. Legal silence renders invisible the differential vulnerability of women migrants, while the effects of climate change and gender discrimination shape their entire migration process. In order to protect women climate migrants, this contribution proposes the extension of the non-refoulement obligation and the granting of humanitarian permits as legal avenues to address invisibility.

The aim of this work is to combine value chain analysis with the UNEP/SETAC methodology for Social Life Cycle Analysis (S-LCA) and the Hotspot Analysis Tool for Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and perform a social and socio-economic LCA for a set of biobased value chains selected within the Magic project. The research presented in this paper is grouped in two parts: • Part A investigates the social implications from specific biobased value chains which use as feedstock crops grown in marginal land, and • Part B uses the consistent datasets from the Hotspot Analysis Tool for Sustainable Consumption and Production and identifies social opportunities at national level for EU27 & UK.
