DesInventar as a Disaster Information Management System

https://www.desinventar.net/what_is.html

The Disaster Information Management System provides data and analysis related to losses caused by disasters associated to natural hazards. It is a tool that helps to analyze the disaster trends and their impacts in a systematic manner. With increased understanding of the disaster trends and their impacts, better prevention, mitigation and preparedness measures can be planned to reduce the impact of disasters on communities.

The Germanwatch Global Climate Risk Index is an analysis based on one of the most reliable data sets available on the impacts of extreme weather events and associated socio-economic data. The aim is to contextualize ongoing climate policy debates—especially the international climate negotiations—looking at real-world impacts over the previous year and the last 20 years. The index focuses on extreme weather events such as storms, floods and heatwaves rather than slow-onset process such as rising sea levels, glacier melting, ocean warming, or acidification.

Climate Fast Facts

https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/climate-fast-facts

The website contains ‘fast facts’ which offer information about many aspects of climate change knowledge. The sites highlights the fact that climate change can be a natural process where temperature, rainfall, wind and other elements vary over decades or more. In millions of years, our world has been warmer and colder than it is now which has impact on economy, jobs, finance, energy, health, food and agriculture and nature.

UN Act Now

https://www.un.org/en/actnow

ActNow is the United Nations campaign for individuals to take action on climate change and sustainability towards achieving net-zero by 2050. Besides wide-ranging actions taken by governments and relevant stakeholders, the transition to a low-carbon world requires the participation of citizens–especially in advanced economies— since everyone can help reduce global warming due to greenhouse gas emission. Making choices that have less harmful effects on the environment, we can be part of the solution and influence change.

Water, Energy, Food, Air & Waste

The Water Food Nexus

The Water Food Nexus Index has been produced annually since 2011, and may be used a means to measure resources and improve sustainability. More recently there have been suggestions that the issue itself is more complex, and this analysis may need to be modified for each particular circumstance

Waste management 

WasteAid : An independent UK charity (non-profit), set up by waste management professionals to share practical and low-cost waste management know-how with communities in low-income countries.

As waste managers, we understand the importance of waste management for public health, and we also know that small enterprises can be successful in turning waste materials into useful products. WasteAid  began in 2015 to share know-how and skills with communities

Around 1 in 3 people globally don’t have decent waste management.  Pollution caused by waste harms people’s health and the environment, and damages the local economy. In contrast, an affordable waste management system is relatively simple to implement, improving the environment, creating jobs and protecting public health – particularly for children.
