The Population-Environment Research Network (PERN) held an online cyberseminar May 18–25, 2020, on analysis of the population-climate change-food security nexus. The cyberseminar was moderated by Raya Muttarak of the University of East Anglia and included statements by seven expert panelists from a range of disciplines.
A webinar launching the cyberseminar on May 18 was led by Alex de Sherbinin, associate director for Science Applications at Columbia University’s Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) and deputy manager of NASA’s Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC). He and CIESIN research scientist Susana Adamo are co-coordinators of PERN, which is a panel of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) and a sustained partner of Future Earth. PERN is supported by SEDAC, which is operated by CIESIN.
