HomeRisk and resilience indicators and indexes in Arctic ecoregions, protected areas and urban centres
Results from the GHSL and DOPA products
Metadaten zur Veröffentlichung
The Arctic region is expected to be increasingly affected by both ecological and anthropogenic processes, as a result of the climate change and socio-economic pressures. The goal of the EC JRC Arctic resilience ongoing study is to investigate the potential of existing EC JRC products and projects to define a set of suitable Arctic resilience physical, ecological, or societal indicators that are able to monitor the major threats to Arctic communities and ecosystems, using a socioecological approach. In a previous report, we used the 40-year Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) 1x1 km2 spatial grids of built-up and population density, that allows the monitoring of population in settlements and estimating human and environment exposure to various hazards. These GHSL satellite-derived products were used to analyse Arctic population dynamics, settlement and urbanisation patterns at administrative levels. In this report, we investigate the potential of both GHSL and DOPA (Digital Observatory for Protected Areas) JRC global products and indicators for the assessment of Arctic risks and resilience. A total of 28 indicators are analysed at ecoregion, protected area and urban levels and some of them are combined into preliminary vulnerability indexes at ecoregion scale. In a further step, they will be further investigated and completed with other data layers to monitor both environmental and human threats in selected Arctic natural, managed and human systems of interest, such as cities, coastal areas, river basins and vulnerable ecosystems.
