The relationship between population and environment have gained increasing attention of demographers in Brazil,
however, without being consolidated what is proper of demography in regarding the environmental. This article seeks to
contribute to this discussion by showing that specific issues of demographic analysis have much to contribute to the understanding
of relationship between people, society and environment in Brazil. Dealing with aspects such as life cycle, age and cohort, the article draw attention to how an ageing structure of the population, experienced in the next decades, could be related to environmental change. The accelerated aging of the population could have a significant impact on patterns of consumption of our society as well as changing the population's vulnerability to environmental conditions experienced in the future.
