adelphi has contributed conceptual models of crises induced by weaknesses in environmental governance to the G-MOSAIC project, one of a series of the EU’s Earth monitoring projects.
Geo-referenced data on both location and evolution of exploitation of natural resources is of great interest for policymakers and social scientists as their access and use might lead to conflict. adelphi’s role within G-MOSAIC, a project funded by the European Commission’s seventh framework programme for research (FP 7), was to develop a conceptual methodology for how environmental information could be integrated with economic, political and social data for crisis and instability risk assessment. It was successfully tested on Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo, two countries that have been subject of international concern. The consultants also organised field visits and workshops to help validate the products together with users.
G-MOSAIC was one of a series of European Earth monitoring projects which provide information on the state of the earth’s environment as part of the Global Monitoring of Environmental Services (GMES) Programme to provide with intelligence data that can be applied to early warning and crisis prevention as well as to crisis management and rapid interventions.
