Mapping Cooking Hotspots

Overview

With this article we want to map the cooking hot-spots (to be defined) where (i) firewood scarcity, (ii) (a)socio economic & (b) climate vulnerability and (iii) 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

• - 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.
  
• Climate https://germanwatch.org/en/16046 Climate Risk Index for 2018 (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)

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
