New Atlas to help SA face challenges of global change
18 April 2010 - The South African Risk and Vulnerability Atlas - a new atlas of local risk and vulnerability in the context of global environmental change - is a flagship initiative of the Global Change Grand Challenge. The Atlas project is managed by the CSIR, with key inputs from South African institutions and research groups. The Atlas aims to consolidate global change science across the region and make the findings accessible to support improved planning and development in the face of global change.
Landmark workshop maps the way forward for climate change atlas
22 June 2009 - Researchers and decision-makers from various government sectors concerned with global and climate change met in Pretoria last week for a landmark workshop aimed at bridging the gap between global change science and global change policy. The South African Risk and Vulnerability Atlas (SARVA) workshop was aimed at stimulating engagement between the two groups to determine the information requirements of potential users of the Atlas in the government sector. The first version of the Atlas is due to be rolled out in 2010, in electronic and hard copy format.
