Infrastructure Climate Resilience Assessment Data Starter Kit for Uganda

<p> This starter data kit collects extracts from global, open datasets relating to climate hazards and infrastructure systems. </p> <p> These extracts are derived from global datasets which have been clipped to the national scale (or subnational, in cases where national boundaries have been split, generally to separate outlying islands or non-contiguous regions), using Natural Earth (2023) boundaries, and is not meant to express an opinion about borders, territory or sovereignty. </p> <p> Human-induced climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of climate and weather extremes. This is causing widespread, adverse impacts to societies, economies and infrastructures. Climate risk analysis is essential to inform policy decisions aimed at reducing risk. Yet, access to data is often a barrier, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Data are often scattered, hard to find, in formats that are difficult to use or requiring considerable technical expertise. Nevertheless, there are global, open datasets which provide some information about climate hazards, society, infrastructure and the economy. This "data starter kit" aims to kickstart the process and act as a starting point for further model development and scenario analysis. </p> <p>Hazards:</p> <ul> <li>coastal and river flooding (Ward et al, 2020)</li> <li>extreme heat and drought (Russell et al 2023, derived from Lange et al, 2020)</li> <li>tropical cyclone wind speeds (Russell 2022, derived from Bloemendaal et al 2020 and Bloemendaal et al 2022)</li> </ul> <p>Exposure:</p> <ul> <li>population (Schiavina et al, 2023)</li> <li>built-up area (Pesaresi et al, 2023)</li> <li>roads (OpenStreetMap, 2023)</li> <li>railways (OpenStreetMap, 2023)</li> <li>power plants (Global Energy Observatory et al, 2018)</li> <li>power transmission lines (Arderne et al, 2020)</li> </ul> <p> The spatial intersection of hazard and exposure datasets is a first step to analyse vulnerability and risk to infrastructure and people. </p> <p> To learn more about related concepts, there is a free short course available through the Open University on <a href="https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=11539">Infrastructure and Climate Resilience</a>. This <a href="https://opsis.eci.ox.ac.uk/courses/2-infra-for-resil/">overview of the course</a> has more details. </p> <p> These Python libraries may be a useful place to start analysis of the data in the packages produced by this workflow: </p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://github.com/tomalrussell/snkit"><code>snkit</code></a> helps clean network data </li> <li> <a href="https://github.com/nismod/snail"><code>nismod-snail</code></a> is designed to help implement infrastructure exposure, damage and risk calculations </li> </ul> <p> The <a href="https://github.com/nismod/open-gira"><code>open-gira</code></a> repository contains a larger workflow for global-scale open-data infrastructure risk and resilience analysis. </p> <p> For a more developed example, some of these datasets were key inputs to a regional climate risk assessment of current and future flooding risks to transport networks in East Africa, which has a related online visualisation tool at <a href="https://east-africa.infrastructureresilience.org/">https://east-africa.infrastructureresilience.org/</a> and is described in detail in Hickford et al (2023). </p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <ul> <li> Arderne, Christopher, Nicolas, Claire, Zorn, Conrad, &amp; Koks, Elco E.

Potential Natural Vegetation of Eastern Africa (Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia): raster and vector GIS files for each country

<p>The map of potential natural vegetation of eastern Africa (V4A) gives the distribution of potential natural vegetation in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi and Zambia.</p> <p>The map is based on national and local vegetation maps constructed from botanical field surveys - mainly carried out in the two decades after 1950 - in combination with input from national botanical experts. Potential natural vegetation (PNV) is defined as &ldquo;vegetation that would persist under the current conditions without human interventions&rdquo;. As such, it can be considered a baseline or null model to assess the vegetation that could be present in a landscape under the current climate and edaphic conditions and used as an input to model vegetation distribution under changing climate.</p> <p>Vegetation types are defined by their tree species composition, and the documentation of the maps thus includes the potential distribution for more than a thousand tree and shrub species, see the documentation (<a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvegetationmap4africa.org%2Fspecies.html&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cjpbl%40ign.ku.dk%7Ca3280e568f104b9a26b308dc4e62f67b%7Ca3927f91cda14696af898c9f1ceffa91%7C0%7C0%7C638471434157657534%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=aeHdnF4n19CbTTznMdObr91vfZys%2FY1PrK1OxI%2BHif0%3D&amp;reserved=0">https://vegetationmap4africa.org/species.html</a>)</p> <p>The map distinguishes 48 vegetation types, divided in four main vegetation groups: 16 forest types, 15 woodland and wooded grassland types, 5 bushland and thicket types and 12 other types.

Improving the application of Important Plant Areas to conserve threatened habitats: a case study of Uganda

<p><strong>This data set relates to the publication: Richards, S. L., Kalema, J., Ojelel, S., Williams, J., &amp; Darbyshire, I. (2024). Improving the application of Important Plant Areas to conserve threatened habitats: A case study of Uganda. Conservation Science and Practice,&nbsp;e13246. https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.13246<br></strong></p> <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>Important Plant Areas (IPAs) are a successful method of identifying priority areas for plant conservation. Assessment of IPAs, however, often relies on criteria related to species, while incorporation of habitats has been less consistent. Using Uganda as a case study, we test the application of the threatened habitat criterion &ndash; criterion C. We identified nationally threatened habitats using Red List of Ecosystems criteria and assess, for the first time, how differing application of thresholds under IPA criterion C can influence IPA network outcomes. Eleven threatened habitats were identified, with declines switching from predominantly forest to savanna after the mid-20<sup>th</sup> century. Significantly, we found current IPA guidance on use of criterion C needlessly limits the number of sites that qualify as IPAs. The &ldquo;five best sites&rdquo; IPA threshold is reserved for countries where quantitative data is unavailable, however, the application of the relevant numerical thresholds (site contains &ge;10% of national resource or site is among the best quality examples required to collectively prioritisie up to 20% of the national resource) to quantitative data largely generated fewer than five IPAs, comparably limiting conservation opportunities identified. We recommend, therefore, that the &ldquo;five best&rdquo; threshold is available for application on both qualitative and quantitative data. This will bolster the value of IPAs in conserving and restoring threatened and ecologically important habitats under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.</p> <p><strong>Dataset:</strong></p> <p>Within this dataset is a shapefile of the estimated extent of threatened habitats in Uganda. Each polygon represents a single "site" for each threatened habitat, with methodology for site identification given in the manuscript. Feature area and percentage national resource are given for each site, enabling users to identify those that trigger the different IPA criterion C thresholds.</p> <p><strong>In this study, we have preliminarily identified the threatened habitats and IPAs for Uganda. However, it is important to seek the expertise and views of stakeholders, consider other IPA criteria met and any complementarity between sites when identifying IPAs. In addition, ground-truthing or more localised data could validate the threat status of a vegetation type as well as identifying which sites are best to conserve these habitats. </strong></p>

Figure 42 in A review of the subgenus Pandinus Thorell, 1876 with descriptions of two new species from Uganda and Ethiopia (Scorpiones: Scorpionidae)

Figure 42: Distribution map of the subgenus Pandinus. Localities of P. imperator and P. gambiensis are after Prendini (2004: 255, fig. 13), localities of other species are new records except Hargeysa (type locality of P. smithi). Type locality of P. phillipsii corresponds with new records (Goolis Mts.). Other localities of P. phillipsii and P. smithi cited by older authors (Borelli, 1919; Pocock, 1896, 1897, and 1900) are not included in the map. Exact distributions of these species need to be further investigated.
