The South African Risk and Vulnerability Atlas is an open science platform of curated and maintained spatial and non-spatial data relating to global change. Value-added products such as data visualisations through maps and charts assist in the presentation of the data and the trends.
The data available in SARVA describes, assesses and evaluates the risks and vulnerabilities facing the country. Examples of data sets include land-use change, urbanisation, climate change, biodiversity loss, social and physical infrastructure, education, child health and poverty indicators.
SARVA is a 'living atlas’ that will be updated quarterly as new data is published to SAEON's Open Data Repository.
