Демография и климат | Green Deal Podcast

В този епизод на GREEN DEAL Podcast - демография и климат. Колко отговорност носим за ЕС и населението?

Автор: Антоанета Петричанска

 

Със застаряването на европейското население по-възрастните поколения ще носят все по-голяма отговорност за общите емисии. Учените изчисляват, че до 2060 г. 39% от общите емисии ще се произвеждат от хора над 65 години.
Ще ви представям гледната точка на специалисти по демография, изследователи на устойчиви потребителски модели и екологични въздействия.

Title: Demography and climate

Author: Antoaneta Petrichanska

 

Summary:

The world's population has already surpassed 8 billion and the UN predicts it could reach 10 billion by 2050. At the same time, Europe's population is ageing rapidly and is expected to start declining in the coming years.

Larger-scale production and increased consumption of goods and services increase the amount of greenhouse gases emitted and leave their environmental footprint. Many countries, institutions and businesses are striving to reduce their emissions, and the Europe Union has even set a target of "climate neutrality" by 2050.

The relationship between population size and climate change is not linear. There are discrepancies in population growth rates and emission levels across countries. There are also disparities in the attitudes of different generations to climate change and their carbon footprint.

As Europe's population ages, older generations will be increasingly responsible for overall emissions. Scientists estimate that by 2060, 39% of total emissions will be produced by people over 65.

This episode of The Green Deal podcast is about demographics and climate. I am Antoaneta Petrichanska and we are developing the topic with specialists in demography, researchers of sustainable consumption patterns and environmental impacts.
