        Population dynamics, poverty and environmental change are linked in many ways and through multiple social and economic mechanisms, at various geographic levels. But not all those linkages have relevance for policy formulation in one of the three domains thus interconnected. This paper tries to identify policy issues among the array of conceivable linkages, placing emphasis on environmental policy. It considers both the environmental issues regarding the management of natural resources and those regarding the pollution of humankind's living quarters. These groups, which broadly correspond to the respective concerns of the rural and the urban environment - the "green" and "brown" agendas - differ in nature, and population dynamics plays different roles in them.
