摘要

编写Umlindi通讯的目的是为气候咨询提供资料,例如考虑到南非农业和灾害部门以适当方式提出的干旱情况。这份通讯每月分发一次,提供从综合气象站的遥感和实地数据获得的与气候有关的监测产品中获得的资料。它包含有用的指标,如降雨、植被和火灾条件,提供了全国情况的概述。本研究展示了如何综合和巩固这些自然资源指数,以供农民、决策者、私人组织和公众利用,以便就管理和减轻自然灾害作出日常决策。然而,有必要扩大这些基线观察举措,包括以下内容:(1)预测未来的条件,以加强政府、农民和整个社区的应对机制;(2)纳入洪水、极端高温等其他自然灾害信息。在南非的情况下,这一信息对于改善备灾和农业生产力管理非常重要。在全球范围内,Umlindi通讯对于编制和传播关于适应和减缓气候变化以及对面临类似风险的其他区域的变率影响的自然资源信息具有深刻见解。此外,虽然国际组织也提供自然资源资料,但Umlindi通讯的特点可能在于其区域重点和与个别社区的联系。它通过说明如何在当地应用全球科学知识,弥合了全球环境数据与地方决策之间的差距。

The Umlindi Newsletter: Disseminating Climate-Related Information on the Management of Natural Disaster and Agricultural Production in South Africa
The Umlindi newsletter was developed to provide information towards climate advisories, considering, for instance, drought conditions, presented in a relevant manner for the agricultural and disaster sectors in South Africa. This newsletter, which is disseminated on a monthly basis, provides information derived from climate-related monitoring products obtained from an integration of remote sensing and in situ data from weather stations. It contains useful indicators, such as rainfall, vegetation, and fire conditions, that provide an overview of conditions across the country. The present study demonstrates how these natural resource indices are integrated and consolidated for utilization by farmers, policy-makers, private organizations, and the general public to make day-to-day decisions on the management and mitigation of natural disasters. However, there is a need to expand these baseline observation initiatives, including the following: (1) forecasting future conditions to strengthen coping mechanisms of government, farmers, and communities at large; and (2) incorporating information on other natural disasters such as floods and extreme heat. In the context of South Africa, this information is important to improve disaster preparedness and management for agricultural productivity. In a global context, the Umlindi newsletter can be insightful for developing and disseminating natural resources information on adaptation to and mitigation of climate change and variability impacts to other regions facing similar risks. Furthermore, while international organizations also provide natural resource information, the Umlindi newsletter may be distinguished by its regional focus and linkages to individual communities. It bridges the gap between global environmental data and local decision-making by illustrating how global scientific knowledge may be applied locally.
