Researchers and decision-makers from various government sectors concerned with global and climate change met in Pretoria on 17 June 2009 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 for release in January 2010, in electronic and hard-copy format.
As an introduction to the workshop, six case studies were presented by global change researchers to illustrate how the Atlas information could potentially be used in decision-making.
