    The UN released their biennial revisions to global population projections last month, revising their medium variant, mid-century estimates up by 250 million people. Kathleen Mogelgaard writes that, if a new IFPRI report is anything to go by, these projections may start playing a more prominent role in food security assessments.

    President Obama also announced new steps in the United States to combat climate change. ECSP senior advisor Geoff Dabelko and fellow ECSP Report 14: Backdraft authors warn that, in already fragile parts of the world, poorly planned and implemented adaptation and mitigation initiatives could unintentionally provoke conflicts, rather than diffuse them. Similarly, Stacy VanDeveer’s Still Digging describes how, at least when it comes to extractive industries, the “green economy” is no less dirty than the last, and Dhanasree Jayaram explains the conflict implications for the development of India’s Western Ghats.
