This paper overviewed the different perspectives on the linkages between population dynamics and environmental changes and presents some empirical studies conducted in this regard. In Sudan, few empirical researches are conducted to examine these linkages; however, many factors found in the literature as a determinant of the linkages between population dynamics and environmental change are observed in three states. Among these factors are: population growth, migration, displacement, poverty, urbanization and the resultant impacts were deforestation, soil erosion, water and air pollution, drought and desertification. Empirically testing these linkages through rigorous econometric models is recommended.
