Joel E. Cohen | A Pardee Distinguished Lecture

Eminent demographer and head of the Laboratory of Populations at Rockefeller University, Prof. Joel E. Cohen delivered a set of five lectures on “The Human Population: Past, or Passing, or To Come” as part of the Pardee Distinguished Lecture Series.

The series explored the current and likely 2050 populations, the Earth’s carrying capacity, preparing for an uncertain future, and a discussion of whether sustainability, globalization, and national democracies are compatible.
