    Future climate projections from the World Climate Research Programme's (WCRP's) CMIP3 multi-model dataset downscaled using the Worldclim 2.5-minute 20th century climate dataset. The CMIP3 multi-model datasets were used for the IPCC 4th Assessment Report. The B1 scenario assumes the most ecologically friendly future. The A1B scenario assumes future energy sources will be balanced between fossil-intensive and non-fossil energy sources. The A2 scenario is characterized by a future world still heavily dependent on fossil fuel consumption. All models are historical and future climate simulations collected from leading modeling centers around the world. The original model simulations are collected and achieved by the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) to create the World Climate Research Programme's (WCRP's) phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) multi-model dataset. The downscaled data were produced by Conservation International through collaboration with the Department of Geography, Center of Climatic Research, and Land Tenure Center at the University of Wisconsin and support from the National Center of Ecological Analysis and Synthesis.

    EcoDRR global classification scheme based on spatial combination of ecosystem coverage and natural hazard physical exposure. The ecosystem data-set contains area percentage of each considered ecosystem in a 100 square kilometer cell. For a specific ecosystem, a 0.01 degree resolution raster of coverage real area is generated. In the case of forest coverage, the classification of the source datasets was grouped in three classes: woodland, open forest and closed forest. The quality of ecosystem in a 100 km2 grid cell is expressed as its area percentage, considering only cell land area for forest ecosystem. Sources: This dataset describes the current status of land areas that could potentially be forested according to climate (includes forest, open forest, woodlands). Intact forests and Fragmented/managed forests were not considered to need restoration. Potential forest lands that are currently non-forest were assumed to be deforested. Forest lands with significantly reduced canopy coverage were considered to be partially deforested (for example, potential closed forest with canopy coverage less than 45%). Both deforested and partially deforested lands considered to be restoration opportunity areas. Credit: Peter Potapov, Lars Laestadius, and Susan Minnemeyer. 2011.

    EcoDRR global classification scheme based on spatial combination of ecosystem coverage and natural hazard physical exposure. The physical exposure data-set shows the product of hazard frequency and people exposed to this hazard in the same 100 square kilometer cell. For a specific natural hazard, a 0.01 degree resolution raster is generated, showing hazard annual frequency weighted with portion of pixel potentially affected. The population raster has the same resolution and represents the absolute number of inhabitants in a 0.01 degree cell. The physical exposure in a 100 km2 grid cell is the sum of the included physical exposure raster cells. Sources: Estimate of surges triggered by tropical cyclone frequency of Saffir-Simpson category 1. It is based on three sources: 1) A compilation of best tracks dataset from WMO Regional Specialised Meteorological Centres (RSMCs) and Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWCs). As well as personal communication with Dr. Varigonda Subrahmanyam, Dr. James Weyman, Kiichi Sasaki, Philippe CAROFF, Jim Davidson, Simon Mc Gree, Steve Ready, Peter Kreft, Henrike Brecht. 2) A GIS modeling based on an initial equation from Greg Holland, which was further modified to take into consideration the movement of the cyclones through time. 3) A Digital Elevation Model (SRTM). Unit is expected average number of event per 1000 years. This product was designed by UNEP/GRID-Europe for the Global Assessment Report on Risk Reduction (GAR). It was modeled using global data.

Residential population estimates for target years 1975, 1990, 2000 and 2015 provided by CIESIN GPWv4.10 were disaggregated from census or administrative units to grid cells, informed by the distribution and density of built-up as mapped in the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) global layer per corresponding epoch.

    The remote environmental screening dataset shows the level of risk of environmental conditions associated with pollutants storage sites. It relies on a methodology developed by FAO in the toolkit “Environmental Management Tool Kit for Obsolete Pesticides” (available here: http://www.fao.org/3/i0473e/i0473e.pdf) to calculate the environmental factor (Fe) of the pollutants storage sites. The FAO methodology has been modified and adapted by UNEP/GRID Geneva to include only questions with a geographical dimension for which good quality data exist at a satisfying resolution. The outcome consists in a remote environmental screening at country level (50 meters resolution) that is calculated as followed: Score risk= (natural disasters x 10) + (human settlements x 5) + (urban areas x 5) + (public facilities x 5) + (waterbodies x 5) + (crops x 3) + (protected areas x 1) More information about the UNEP/GRID methodology available on: https://owncloud.unepgrid.ch/index.php/s/5LPUDTxUEzIFka5

    Raster of Active Fires frequency per square kilometer for the period 01/01/2019 - 25/09/2019, based on MODIS Collection 6 Active Fire Product MCD14ML. Only location points described as "presumed vegetation fire" in the attributes are included in the frequency calculation. <br> This raster layer was produced by GRID-Geneva. Data accessed in October 2019, at https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/dataprod/mod14.php. <br> <br> The MODIS active fire product detects fires in 1-km pixels that are burning at the time of overpass under relatively cloud-free conditions using a contextual algorithm. Please see the <a href="http://modis-fire.umd.edu/files/MODIS_C6_Fire_User_Guide_B.pdf" target= "_blank">MODIS Active Fire Product User's Guide</a> for detailed information about the MODIS active fire product suite. <br> <br> Giglio, L., Schroeder, W., and Justice, C.
