Greetings and happy New Year all.
Last year I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr Peter Matanle, a leading authority on demographic and depopulation change, to explore how demographic shifts (ageing populations, shrinking workforces, and depopulation) are reshaping sustainability, along with the implications for biodiversity, equity and inclusion as part of a fascinating conversation delivered in 3 parts (see links below).
Best regards
James
Key topics and themes included:
- Depopulation as a megatrend: Japan and other vanguard countries for demographic & sustainability insights
- Biodiversity decline under gradual depopulation: land use change, habitat fragmentation, and what investors should watch
- Labour force contraction & Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI): why equity is the bridge from diversity to inclusion – pressures on recruitment, retention and productivity and the potential role of disabled and neurodiverse talent
