Résumé

ABSTRACT This study examines the evolving relationship between demographic dynamics and environmental shifts in the Anthropocene—an era where human activity has become a dominant geological force. Through a descriptive-statistical analysis of 2025 data, the research explores how eco-anxiety (the chronic fear of environmental collapse) is reshaping population behaviors, particularly in terms of fertility and migration. The findings highlight a profound Demographic-Environmental Paradox: while global population growth is slowing (0.9%–1%), carbon emissions continue to rise (1.1%), proving that consumption patterns and lifestyles are now more statistically significant than absolute population numbers. The study concludes that the most vulnerable populations are those experiencing rapid growth in ecologically fragile zones (e.g., the Sahel), necessitating a transition toward "Green Demography" and the integration of climate-related psychological factors into future population policies.
