Mapping Cooking Hotspots
From energypedia
Overview
With this article we want to map the climate hot-spots (definition still not clear) where firewood scarcity, socio economic (possibly climate) vulnerability and where reliance on solid fuels overlap.
Possible Datasets
Firewood scarcity
tbc
Socio economic vulnerability
Data from United Nations Committee for Development Policy Secretariat. Triennial review dataset 2000 - 2018.
- Economic Vulnerability Indicators
- Complete dataset 2000-2018 (Excel format)
- 2018 LDC Snapshots – consolidated version (PDF format)
Climate vulnerability
- Climate https://germanwatch.org/en/16046 Climate Risk Index for 2018[1] (Ranking score: 1. Fatalities in 2018 (Rank) 2. Fatalities per 100 000 inhab-itants (Rank), 3. Losses in mil-lion US$ (PPP) (Rank), 4. Losses per unit GDP in % (Rank)[2]
- - A https://gain.nd.edu/our-work/country-index/rankings/ - A country's ND-GAIN index score is composed of a Vulnerability score and a Readiness score.[3]
Reliance on solid fuels
- World Development Indicators (WDI) (only data for 2016) Access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking (% of population) Data Map
- Population with primary reliance on clean fuels and technologies (WHO)
Idea: Creating a map to show the most vulnerable areas
to be developed; different layers of color coded areas based on a classification in the following categories:
Country/region | firewood scarcity | socio economic vulnerability | possibly climate vulnerability | solid fuels | Scoring |
