Ecosystems and Biodiversity in Africa Scenario Steve Peedell Spatial Data Infrastructures Unit European Commission Joint Research Centre stephen. peedell@jrc. it 10/23/2021 SDI Unit 1

Ecosystems and Biodiversity : Africa - Scenario Development • Introductions • Confirmation of scenario description • • • – – – All participants to scenario development JRC role in Africa Geographic distribution – – – Role of climate change, socio-economic, humanitarian effects Continent wide / Region specific? Show the good, the bad and the ugly? – Time scale e. g. short term / long term • Political implications • Long term impact of short term events…. . Direct and indirect participants Links to other scenarios - climate change, wildfire Links to other pilots - GEO, Fed. EO Links to other SBA’s Infrastructure issues - role of GEONETCAST? Development of script – What are the key messages? – For which audience? – Using which tools? • Common / scenario specific • Ministerial / technical / public • Identification of data / services • Schedule and tasks - Wednesday – 10/23/2021 SDI Unit Does the scenario fit the available data or vice versa? 2

Africa Observatory - Ecosystems and Biodiversity Continent wide Systematic Input to scenario - results of evaluation 10/23/2021 SDI Unit 3

Scenario Description • As per Kick Off Work Plan -Scenario on ecosystems, biodiversity and climate change in Africa (CFP B. 2. 6. 4) • Or as per CFP (Ecosystems and Biodiversity: Africa)? • Cranfield, FGDC, JRC Geo. Connections, GEOmon, JPL, Meraka et. al. , NOAA/EOG, SERVIR, UT/JAXA, GBIF, NASA (SEDAC), STFC, ……. • Scenario objectives / key messages – Strong on data discovery and access – Limited processing, workflow • RM ODP description of pilot • Entries of contributed resources to go in the GEOSS Registry 10/23/2021 SDI Unit 4

CFP • • • 0 Identify the key questions for long- term decisions Is the existing network of protected areas (PAs) for preserving biodiversity adapted for preserving hot spots of biodiversity and resilient to current and features threats? 1. Evaluate the current value of PAs Do the current PAs preserve the major groups of species and their habitats? Can we rank the existing PAs? Are important hot spots of biodiversity not covered? 2. Evaluate the current threats on PAs How human activities impact on the territorial integrity or connectivity of PAs? Can we identify the most threaten areas? 3. Evaluate the future threats on PAs How climate change and demographic increase will modify the biodiversity value and the threats (fires, droughts, floods, extractive activities, agriculture. . . )? 4. Adapt the distribution of PAs How can we mitigate threats on biodiversity by measures on existing PAs and by creating new ones? 10/23/2021 SDI Unit 5

GEO /Trilateral Pilot Objectives • Use scenarios to exercise discovery and access • Develop and register persistent GEOSS services • Demonstrate use of GEOSS architecture around scenarios 10/23/2021 SDI Unit 8

Contributions • Storyboard development (up to end June) • Local stakeholder engagement • Service creation / provision – Including proxy hosting • Catalogue population • Links to other scenarios / pilots • Key messages – Sharing brings results – What we are aware of is the tip of the iceberg – Justify data acquisition / cataloguing • Demonstrate potential value 10/23/2021 SDI Unit – Added value of the GEO process – Repatriation of data 9
