| source_abstract | South Africa - remote environmental screening (UN Environment - 2019) Analysis (Score risk): UNEP/GRID-Geneva (2019) This dataset shows the level of risk of environmental conditions associated with pollutants storage sites. It relies on a methodology developed by FAO in the toolkit “Environmental Management Tool Kit for Obsolete Pesticides” (available here: FAO toolkit [http://www.fao.org/3/i0473e/i0473e.pdf]) to calculate the environmental factor (Fe) of the pollutants storage sites. The FAO methodology has been modified and adapted by UNEP/GRID Geneva to include only questions with a geographical dimension for which good quality data exist at a satisfying resolution. The outcome consists in a remote environmental screening at country level and is calculated as followed: Score risk= (natural disasters x 10) + (human settlements x 5) + (urban areas x 5) + (public facilities x 5) + (waterbodies x 5) + (crops x 3) + (protected areas x 1) More information about the methodology available on: UNEP/GRID Methodology [https://owncloud.unepgrid.ch/index.php/s/1QoxhQkZUVyphrF] |
