[비공개] The spread of cholera 1950-2004
Increasing floods in between dry periods represent ideal conditions for spreading diseases such as cholera. In Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania located in the desert, precipitations - when they occur - are always accompanied by a cholera epidemic, especially in poor areas where waste matter is not managed. Cholera had almost disappeared globally by the mid 1950s, but it reappeared and sprea..Random graphic of the day: UNEP/GRID-Arendal Maps and Graphics Library|2010-03-16 02:18 am추천 -
[비공개] A World of Salt
Global water type by percentage. Estimates of global water resources based on several different calculation methods have produced varied estimates. Shiklomanov in Gleick (1993) estimated that: - The total volume of water on earth is 1.4 billion km3. - The volume of freshwater resources is 35 million km3, or about 2.5% of the total volume. Of these, 24 million km3 or 68.9% is in the form of ice a..Random graphic of the day: UNEP/GRID-Arendal Maps and Graphics Library|2010-03-15 09:36 am추천 -
[비공개] Total population: access to sanitation
The 2004 global image sadly shows that the lack of access to clean water remains a burden for the poorest countries, preventing them accelerating their development. Essentially handicapping most sub-Saharan African countries, the map shows some curious trends, such as Romania, which remains far behind all other European countries.Random graphic of the day: UNEP/GRID-Arendal Maps and Graphics Library|2010-03-14 12:57 am추천 -

[비공개] Potential for cropland expansion
Current projections suggest that an additional 120 million ha – an area twice the size of France or one-third that of India – will be needed to support the traditional growth in food production by 2030, mainly in developing countries (FAO, 2003), without considering the compensation required for certain losses. The demand for irrigated land is projected to increase by 56% in Sub- Saharan Afr..Random graphic of the day: UNEP/GRID-Arendal Maps and Graphics Library|2010-03-08 08:27 pm추천 -

[비공개] Current Valuation Estimates of Blue Ca..
Although coastal ecosystems are already among the most valuable on the planet, the current estimates of the economic value for some of the oceans blue carbon sinks are surprisingly low. How should human perception of these important ecosystems change as we learn of the vast benefits of maintaining healthy coasts and oceans?Random graphic of the day: UNEP/GRID-Arendal Maps and Graphics Library|2010-03-06 07:42 pm추천 -
[비공개] Number of undernourished children proj..
Food security is likely to remain out of reach for many people. Child malnutrition will be difficult to eradicate even by 2050 (low to medium certainty) and is projected to increase in some regions in some Millennium Assessment scenarios, despite increasing food supply under all four scenarios (medium to high certainty) and more diversified diets in poor countries (low to medium certainty).Random graphic of the day: UNEP/GRID-Arendal Maps and Graphics Library|2010-03-05 10:04 pm추천
