We bring you ... the new SARVA website

Click on www.rvatlas.org, make yourself at home and read more about

The website has a special section for the media, and provides useful links to partner and stakeholder websites.

We hope that the site will soon become one of your favourite virtual stopovers, not only to learn about new milestones in the roll-out of the SARVA project, but also as a living interactive platform where you will be able to tap into the latest information about the impact and risk associated with global change in South Africa, and share valuable information with the SARVA community.

The website is set to become an easy-to-navigate, interactive gateway to a data portal containing continually updated global change information such as maps, images, case studies and other narratives (including a document library and a glossary of terms) to inform global change adaptation responses and planning. It will give access to a widely encompassing storehouse of information about global change.

As requested by participants in the first Users' Workshop, it will also serve as a platform for future collaboration in the global change arena where environment impact assessments can be shared to allow lesser resourced municipalities access to this information and drive down costs.

We welcome your feedback on the new site.
