In the last few decades (particularly after 1950), the World’s population doubled from three billion to six billion plus population. This increased the pressure on land use and resource depletion continued. Further, it fuelled with habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, water scarcity and water pollution, air pollution, global warming and climate change across the globe. Impact of these problems are more on developing regions like South Asia. South Asia is a region with great diversities in population growth, socio-economic development and facing serious population and environmental problems. The most threatened areas are grasslands of Sundarbans, coastal areas and mountain forest ecosystems of the Himalayas. Large sections of the population of South Asian region lack basic human needs such as sufficient food and nutrition, clean water, adequate shelter, and access to education and health care. However, the current changing environment and frequent occurrence of extreme weather events posing a serious challenge to socio-economic development, food security, livelihoods and health hazards among the population in the region along with the resilience mechanisms. So, it is necessary to investigate these issues through the lenses of research, which may help in formulating better policies and program at the local and regional level. We herein would like to invite researchers from the international community working in the areas of environment, climate change and population dynamics to contribute to this special issue on “Environment and Population Dynamics in South Asia”. This issue will broadly cover the issues related to population dynamics and its relationship with various environmental issues (but may not limited to) such as climate change and resilience, natural disaster, disaster management, waste management, WASH, urbanization and air pollution, climate change and migration, climate change and health etc.
