Visualizing complex risks for informed action

The links between environmental change, climate stress, conflict and the vulnerability of populations are complex, and access to data on these subjects is not straightforward. The result of a collaboration between Earth Blox, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the University of Edinburgh, Strata brings together data from a variety of sources to see and locate 'hotspots' - those areas most at risk.

Monitoring territorial dynamics

Developed in the Mato-Grosso region (Brazilian Amazon), the Chove-Chuva demonstrator offers a map-based summary of the territorial dynamics observed in relation to the adaptation and mitigation strategies put in place.

Using multisource data, the tool can produce a 'dashboard' of the territorial situation for an area predefined by a user, based on synthetic indicators covering 4 major themes: climate (rainfall), forest cover, water (hydrology) and agriculture (surface area and practices).

Tracking temperature trends from space

Specifically developed for a young audience, EducSCO Temperatures offers a simple and fun exploration. Its interface allows you to visualise and analyse temperature trends in space (from a specific location to the entire Earth) and over time (using 40 years of climate data and 20 years of satellite data). Instructions for use can be found on the project page.

With a similar, simplified interface to adapt it to a young audience, EducSCO Weather and Climate looks at changes in weather (short-term) and climate (long-term) and defines the concept of seasonal "normal".
