CCAPS Launches New Mapping Tool

3 Apr 2012

Our partners at the Robert S Strauss Center’s Climate Change and African Political Stability (CCAPS) program have launched a pilot version of a mapping tool that analyzes intersections between climate change, conflict and aid.

Our partners at the Robert S. Strauss Center’s external pageClimate Change and African Political Stability (CCAPS) program have recently launched a external pagepilot version of a mapping tool that analyzes intersections between climate change, conflict and aid.

The mapping tool is the result of CCAPS’ partnership with external pageAidData, and offers researchers and policymakers the opportunity to visualize the intersection of these issues within Africa. Arguably its key strength is its ability to select and layer multiple sources of CCAPS data onto one map of Africa to assess “how myriad climate change impacts and responses intersect”.

The following screenshots highlight what CCAPS’ new mapping tool is capable of generating:

How do conflict trends and chronic climate insecurity intersect in Central Africa?

Is development aid targeting areas with climate security risks?
