Abstract
A Galton-Watson process in a varying environment is a discrete time branching process where the offspring distributions vary among generations. It is known that in the critical case, these processes have a Yaglom limit, that is, a suitable normalization of the process conditioned on non-extinction converges in distribution to a standard exponential random variable. In this manuscript, we provide the rate of convergence of the Yaglom limit with respect to the Wasserstein metric.
