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.[1]
- Climate https://germanwatch.org/en/16046 Climate Risk Index for 2018[2] (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)[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)
- link to a map: Geography of those without access to clean cooking

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 |
