With the theme “Intersections: Population, Environment, and Climate Resilience in the Philippines,” The 2026 Philippine Population Association (PPA) International Scientific Conference convenes a vibrant, diverse community of researchers, policymakers, and development stakeholders, united by a shared commitment to advancing population and development studies in the Philippines and beyond.
The PPA International Scientific Conference serves as a vital platform for scholarly exchange, critical dialogue, and collaborative engagement on pressing issues such as reproductive health, migration, youth development, gender equity, aging, urbanization, climate vulnerability, and social protection.
