    The main sources of information for the species distribution are the habitat description and geographic range contained in the published FAO Catalogues of Species (more details at http://www.fao.org/fishery/fishfinder ). Terms used in the descriptive context of the FAO Catalogues were converted in standard depth, geographic and ecological regions and inserted into a Geographic Information System.

  • Part of the Integrated Vulnerability Assessment in the Arab Region, this 1km pixel resolution raster dataset provides a representation of future change in vulnerability hotspots for Agriculture:Water Available for Crops sub-sector, in the Middle East and North Africa Region. The raster grid was generated for high emission scenario, representative concentration pathway (RCP8.5), developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and for End-Century (2081-2100) time period . Pixel values are classified according to vulnerability level: class 10 the top 10%, class 20 top 20% and class 30 top 30%. Vulnerability is a concept used to express the complex interaction of climate change effects and the susceptibility of a system to its impacts. The integrated vulnerability assessment methodology is based on an understanding of vulnerability as a function of a system’s climate change exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity to cope with climate change effects, consistent with the approach put forward by the IPCC in its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). It adopts the time periods generally used by the IPCC and other regional climate modelling experiments and runs climate simulations based on future time periods that are compared with a historical reference period.

  • Include: Zacaton (F-13-B-59)

  • These datasets are the main products of the National Land Use Land Cover (LULC) mapping for each epoch done by National Forestry Authority. They represent Uganda's LULC classified into 13 main classes and sub-classes according to the National Biomass Study (NBS) classification system. The NBS classification system was designed to be robust with capacity to store data on Land cover, Biomass and Wetness. Datasets available are 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2017.

  • Part of the Integrated Vulnerability Assessment in the Arab Region, this 1km pixel resolution raster dataset provides a representation of Adaptive Capacity to climate change, for Infrastructure dimension indicator - Water and Sanitation - Access to Improved Sanitation - in the Middle East and North Africa Region. Vulnerability is a concept used to express the complex interaction of climate change effects and the susceptibility of a system to its impacts. The integrated vulnerability assessment methodology is based on an understanding of vulnerability as a function of a system’s climate change exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity to cope with climate change effects, consistent with the approach put forward by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Combining exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity allows assessing the vulnerability of a system to climate change. Within this conceptual framework, Adaptive Capacity refers to “the ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes), to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences” as defined in the IPCC AR4. The Adaptive Capacity Infrastructure dimension can be considered as ability mechanisms whereby they characterize the accessibility to the built environment as a means to adapt. Indicators were selected based on five pillars: energy, transportation, health, water and sanitation, and environment, were assumed to retain the same values for the reference period and future periods, and raster grid pixel values classified according to level of Adaptive Capacity, from low 1 to high 10.

  • Part of the Integrated Vulnerability Assessment in the Arab Region, this 1km pixel resolution raster dataset provides a representation of Sensitivity to climate change impact for the Natural dimension indicator – Degradation of Vegetation Cover - in the Middle East and North Africa Region. Vulnerability is a concept used to express the complex interaction of climate change effects and the susceptibility of a system to its impacts. The integrated vulnerability assessment methodology is based on an understanding of vulnerability as a function of a system’s climate change exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity to cope with climate change effects, consistent with the approach put forward by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Within this conceptual framework, Sensitivity provides information about the status quo of the physical and natural environment that makes the affected systems particularly susceptible to climate change. Sensitivity indicators were clustered into three dimensions: population, natural, and manmade. Within the vulnerability assessment methodology it is assumed the indicators retain the same values for reference period and future periods. A class value of 1 was assigned to represent a favorable condition (low sensitivity) while a class value of 10 designates an unfavorable condition.
