Twin figures for the Horn of Africa and the Nile basin states, counted from its layers at their stated dates.
For Climate and nature governance: the faculty's twin of Horn of Africa on the planet map, the globe and in 3D. Pick a generator, switch layers, run the instruments; every layer prints its provider and date.
Drag to turn the globe, Ctrl with the wheel to zoom. Keyboard: arrows turn, + and - zoom, 0 resets, V steps through the views, Escape clears.
Flat map of the same data: the 13 countries on a graticule and the numbers below. The globe opens on devices with WebGL once its library has been checked; the live alerts, events and divisions load in the globe on request, each with its data date.
The map loads from this site as it nears the view (MapLibre 6.9.1, checked by hash).
The discipline teaches national adaptation plan and nationally determined contribution reading, adaptation pathway design, biodiversity framework and disclosure governance analysis, river basin governance and implementation gap analysis, under the Paris Agreement, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the 1997 Watercourses Convention. On the faculty's globe its case is the Nile basin: the countries as published and the basin's institutions and treaties as columns and rows that fill only from admitted records. A graduate can read a country's climate commitments against its plans, map a basin's governance and write an implementation gap assessment with its sources.
