Resilience Atlas.
The Resilience Atlas database integrates 12+ terabytes of data from 60+ top datasets, creating user-friendly maps that can shift from regional to national scales and, where the availability and resolution of the data permit, to local scales. People making important investment, development and security decisions can easily see the full picture.
Resilience.
Refers to the ability of a socio-ecological system to withstand, respond to, and adapt to stresses and shocks.
Understand exposure.
Of socio-ecological stressors and shocks to rural livelihoods, production systems, and ecosystems.
Wealth vulnerability.
How does natural, human, social, financial, and manufactured capital impact resilience?
The Atlas features a unique "Journeys" component that translates data and maps into an insightful analysis tool, offering an accessible way to comprehend historical trends and future projections. Through these Journeys, the Atlas leads users in exploring their data of interest, encouraging self-guided discovery rather than providing direct answers. This knowledge can be shared via social media links or embedded within their own webpages. An illustrative example is the Ethiopian pastoralists' Journey, which navigates users through maps of their locations and examines stressors like changing rainfall patterns and inadequate investments in human capital, impacting their adaptive capacity and livelihood transformation.
