POPULATION-ENVIRONMENT-DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH GROUP (PEDRG)

POPULATION-ENVIRONMENT-DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH GROUP (PEDRG)

CONCEPT NOTE

INTRODUCTION

The nexus between Population, development and the environmental quality has remained an issue of debate. While some schools of thought believe that human use of the environment for developmental activities induces environmental stress, others are of the view that the environment influences man’s quality of life and developmental ideologies. The implication is that population is not only seen to constitute challenges but can also under the right circumstances, provide important opportunities for sustainable development.

The divergent views however, point to the difficulty in reaching definitive conclusions about the relationship between population, development and environmental sustainability. Part of the difficulty is that they are not independent issues but are intimately related. As a result, there is the need for an understanding not only of how they are unique, but also of how they are linked. It is against this background that a research group that provides empirical and quantitative evidence of demographic, development and environmental sustainability linkages and how opportunities in one sector reinforce those in another becomes imperative.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) may be conceived as exemplifying the implications of the multifaceted interaction of population, and environment on development. The MDGs have been indicators of development in the early 21st century although its level of achievement has varied between countries and regions. Now that the world is approaching the twilight of the MDGs, there is need to focus on post-2015 Development Goals and Targets. Achieving post-2015 goals will to a large extent hinge on the quality of the population and environment. The Population-Environment-Development Research Group (PEDRG), as this group will be known, will explore linkages between population and environment and effects of the linkages in the context of post-2015 development agendas in Nigeria and Africa.

 Urban Geography

 

Themes to be addressed in this research group include, but are not limited to Population and settlement ; Urban and Rural Development; Climate change Impacts and Vulnerability Assessments, Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), Quality of Life, Political Ecologies of Environmental and Resource Conflicts, Migration and Livelihoods; Solid Waste Management and Pollution Control, Flooding and Land Degradation.

To be explored also is the issue of human agency in initiating action and remedial measures for socio-environmental problems and conflicts associated with exploitation and utilization of resources such as oil and gas, solid minerals, and contestations of natural resources and space in the quest for a livelihood such as the ubiquitous informal economy of African cities. Also, the political and institutional constraints to these and the policy approaches to improving lives of actors in the informal sphere of human activity at the dawn of the post-2015 development period will be looked at.

PREVIOUS RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Members of the Population-Environment-Development Research Group (PEDRG) have been involved as individuals and as teams in projects and publications in such areas as climate change, environmental and social impact assessment, quality of life research and community development, waste recycling and livelihoods, land use planning , oil and gas exploration and production, migration and livelihoods, fertility and mortality issues among other things. Some of these studies have recently been published in high impact journals such as Waste Management, Journal of Environmental Management, Habitat International, Applied Spatial Analysis ad Policy, Applied Research in Quality of Life, Review of African Political Economy etc.

Members of the Group have also competed for and won research grants and fellowships from reputable organizations such as the International Foundation for Science (IFS), Stockholm, African Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS) Nairobi, Kenya, the Nordic Africa Institute, Uppsala, Sweden, and University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA), The U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the U.S. Army Research Office, among others
