Nordpil

In cooperation with Ukrainian and Moldovan government officers, a transboundary geographic database was assembled for the Dniester river basin. Nordpil, together with Zoï, prepared an interactive map to present the data.

Nordpil recently completed a project resulting in discussion material and research for the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI).

The Norwegian website Globalis presents the world with facts and figures on development and environment. The website is targeted at schoolchildren and educators, and is hosted by the Norwegian UN Association. Nordpil assisted the project by preparing updated map layers for the map component in the first half of 2010.

Nordpil has prepared an interactive map on the potential for biofuels in Uganda. The map, prepared for UNEP/GRID-Arendal, presents issues related to biofuels, food and conservation.

An overview of the ecology of the Arctic is presented in the report Arctic Biodiversity Trends 2010: Selected indicators of change, presented by the Arctic Council in May 2010. Nordpil prepared all the maps, charts and diagrams for this publication, working closely with the editorial team from UNEP/GRID-Arendal and the CAFF Secretariat.

Nordpil was asked to provide the Basel Convention with a set of posters on transboundary flows of hazardous waste and on the latest relevant statistics reported by countries. The final posters were presented to participants at a special meeting for related conventions on waste and dangerous substances, in Bali in February 2010.

The database of cities and megacities has been updated to version 1.1. Coordinates have been corrected and the license changed, among other things. The data is available as maps, for Google Earth, in an animation video and for GIS data download.
