Global Crisis Atlas: Mapping for Situational awareness
This report is produced by the Peace & Stability team of the Joint Research Centre, which seats under the umbrella of the Disaster Risk Management Unit (E1) – Directorate Space, Security and Migration. The team deals with projects related to the understanding of crisis and conflict risk dynamics. The ultimate objective is the enhancement of situational awareness and the support to decision-making processes of EU policymakers during critical or potentially critical situations. Global Crisis Atlas (GCA) is one of the work packages of the Peace & Stability team. It consists of a repository of digital maps, accessible by the means of a web interface, that furnish an overview of the elements that influence (or might influence) the rise or unfolding of crises and conflicts. GCA maps are produced to respond to the intelligence requirements of the European External Action Service and to complement the information already provided by its intelligence centre (INTCEN - EU Intelligence and Situation Centre).
The current report is divided into four chapters. The first two chapters serve as presentation of the GCA theoretical framework (chapter 1) and of the tool’s features and functionalities (chapter 2). The last two chapters highlight future developments in terms of new functionalities implemented as well as innovative approaches to the understanding of crises and conflicts that the GCA tool may enable.
