Africa's climate has always been characterized by a wide range of variability, influenced by its diverse geography and location across the equator. Historically, the continent has experienced alternating periods of wetter and drier conditions, driven by natural climate variability factors such as changes in solar radiation, ocean currents, and atmospheric circulation patterns. Africa's climate has undergone significant changes over the centuries, and the continent is now facing unprecedented challenges due to human-induced climate change. The rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and increasing frequency of extreme weather events are already having severe impacts on Africa's ecosystems, economies, and communities. It is imperative to address the escalating climate crisis in Africa to protect lives, livelihoods, and the continent's invaluable ecosystems. The Africa Climate strategy recognizes the situation's urgency and outlines a comprehensive approach to addressing climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through innovative partnerships and on-the-ground implementation, the strategy will work to protect critical ecosystems, support sustainable livelihoods, and build a more equitable and prosperous Africa. This strategy is essential for safeguarding the region's natural and human capital by investing in climate solutions, to create a more resilient and prosperous Africa for future generations.

Background: Physical activity (PA) of higher intensity and longer duration mainly accumulates from older adults' out-of-home activities. Outdoor PA is influenced by environmental features; however, the day-to-day variability of PA and its associations with environmental features have not been widely studied. This study focused on the associations of environmental features with accelerometer-measured PA in older people on weekdays and weekend days.Methods: The study population comprised 167 community-dwelling older people aged 75–90 years. Accelerometers were worn on 7 consecutive days and a structured interview on physical functioning, health, and socioeconomic factors was administered. A geographic information system (GIS) was used to assess environmental features within a distance of 500 (number of land types, road network slope, intersection, and residential densities) or 1,000 m (habitat diversity within natural and green areas) from participants' homes. Accelerometer-based PA [number of PA bouts >10 min and minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA)] was analyzed for weekdays and weekend days separately. Associations between environmental features and PA were analyzed using linear regression models.Results: Participants accumulated on average 0.60 PA bouts and 34.2 MVPA minutes on weekdays and 0.50 PA bouts and 31.5 MVPA minutes on weekend days. Especially participants with low overall PA were less active at weekends. Habitat diversity in natural and green areas, intersection density, and residential density were positively associated with numbers of PA bouts and MVPA minutes on weekdays. Moreover, more diversity in natural and green areas was associated with more MVPA minutes on weekend days. A higher road network slope was negatively associated with the number of PA bouts throughout the week and with MVPA minutes on weekend days.Conclusions: Environmental features close to home, especially PA-supportive infrastructural features and services, were more strongly associated with weekday than weekend PA. This suggests that older people's out-of-home activities, typically conducted on weekdays, are related to service use. However, greater diversity of natural areas close to home seemed to motivate older adults to engage in higher MVPA throughout the week.

The Geographic Information System (GIS) industry is experiencing robust growth, projected to maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.80% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by increasing adoption across diverse sectors, including agriculture, utilities, mining, construction, transportation, and oil and gas. The rising need for precise location-based data for efficient operations, optimized resource management, and informed decision-making fuels this market growth. Advancements in hardware, such as high-resolution sensors and drones, coupled with sophisticated software capabilities like advanced spatial analytics and cloud-based GIS solutions, are key contributors. Furthermore, the proliferation of location-based services (LBS) and the growing adoption of telematics and navigation systems are expanding the applications of GIS technology. While data security concerns and the need for skilled professionals present some challenges, the overall market outlook remains positive. The segmentation of the GIS market reveals a strong demand across various components (hardware and software) and functionalities (mapping, surveying, telematics and navigation, and location-based services). North America currently holds a significant market share due to early adoption and technological advancements, but regions like Asia are exhibiting rapid growth fueled by infrastructure development and increasing digitalization. Leading companies like Bentley Systems, Esri, Trimble, and Hexagon AB are at the forefront of innovation, continuously developing and implementing advanced GIS solutions to meet the evolving needs of different industries. The forecast for the next decade points to further market consolidation, with leading players investing heavily in research and development to enhance their product offerings and expand their market reach. The continued integration of GIS with other technologies such as AI and IoT will further drive market expansion and create new opportunities for growth.

Zambia’s Kafue Ecosystem—a vast 6 million ha (16 million acres)—is one of the planet’s great natural treasures—and one of the best opportunities on the continent for sweeping impact. But habitat loss, deforestation, poaching, overfishing, and wildfires are constant threats, and development could fracture connections with other important conservation areas. Success depends on an integrated vision that builds on three pillars: Conservation Potential. Anchored by Kafue National Park, our project area includes the Kafue Ecosystem, the West Lunga Ecosystem and wildlife corridor linking it to Kafue, and the corridor linking Kafue to the KAZA conservation area—a total of roughly 8 million ha (20 million acres) of conservation potential. Wildlife Haven. The area is a savanna-woodland haven for elephant, cheetah, buffalo, hippo and wild dog, and the highest diversity—21 species—of antelope on the continent. Traditional Communities. The area is home to Indigenous People, who reside in and around the nine Game Management Areas (GMAs) that encircle the park.

Web service updating every 6 hours with the latest active fire perimeter from GeoMAC. Enriched with CoreLogic residential parcel counts and census demographics.

Parcel data is processed before aggregation up to the active fire extents in order to best represent structure count using the following steps: Residential parcels only (no commercial, agricultural, vacant, industrial parcels)Water mask to remove parcels within open water (lakes, oceans, rivers)Duplicate APN’s (Assessor’s Parcel Number) are removed. Sometimes there can be duplicate parcels over a single lot or structure with the same APN number, which skews the exposure count if not taken into account in processing.

About this itemUtilization of GIS is a relatively new endeavor for the City of Thief River Falls. Since beginning in my role as the GIS Technician in the Fall of 2021, we have created and made many new projects available to the public, and built internal GIS datasets and components. This Story Map was created for GIS Day 2022 to help educate the public on what GIS, how the City uses GIS, and what future extensions they can expect from the City. As a new GIS professional, putting this content together helped me to see how far I've come, and how many more exciting things GIS can bring to the City!

The POST layer produced from a predictive geospatial model is based on the best-available hazard data (wind, surge, riverine flooding), population data, and social vulnerability/demographics and then generalized into more specific AOI's based on evaluation of model outputs. These areas that reflect various levels of risk help prioritize efforts and plan for satellite tasking. AOIs will be updated daily with latest hazard data during national disaster events.

This story map was created as a resource for municipalities and their residents to learn more about Prescription Drug Safety and Disposal and the resources that are available to them. This tool was created to support Sustainable Jersey municipal certification.Accessibility updated August 2022.
