The African Flood and Drought Monitor
System for early warning of flood and drought conditions across the continent
Tools
Global Risk Data Platform
PREVIEW shares global risk data on natural hazards, allowing users to access information on past events, human and economic exposure, and risks associated with various phenomena.
NJDCC Drought Monitoring Dashboard
Spatially represents monthly drought observations as depicted by Standard Precipitation Index (SPI). Data is sourced from the Agricultural Research Council (ARC).
Global Forest Watch
Global Forest Watch is an open-source web application to monitor global forests in near real-time.
National Integrated Water Information System
The National Integrated Water Information System (NIWIS) was developed by the Department of Water and Sanitation with the purpose of providing information products, in the form of dashboards, to facilitate efficient analysis and reporting across the water value chain in South Africa.
Freshwater Biodiversity Information System
FBIS is an open-access, online platform for serving, hosting, analyzing, visualising and sharing freshwater biodiversity data in South Africa. The overall purpose of the platform is to support data-driven freshwater decision-making and management in South Africa.
Climate TRACE
Climate TRACE, a non-profit coalition, utilizes AI and ML to create an accessible inventory of global greenhouse gas emissions. The tool analyses vast data, including 90 trillion bytes from 300+ satellites, 11,000+ sensors, and various other sources worldwide.
Carbon Sinks Atlas
The National Terrestrial Carbon Sinks Assessment (NTCSA) aims to understand carbon distribution, identify mitigation opportunities, and review policies for sustainable land management in response to climate change.
Mine Water Atlas
The South African Mine Water Atlas is a comprehensive reference on the vulnerability of water resources to mining activity in South Africa. It shows the critical interplay between mining and water resources and is the most extensive set of documents of its kind.
National Climate Risk & Vulnerability (CRV) Assessment Framework
The framework is intended to provide guidance on what to consider when undertaking climate rrisk and vulernability assessments within diverse South African contexts in order to enable alignment, comparison, and aggregation between them and work towards an effective climate adaptation response across scales.
