Yesterday my colleague and I scripted, created and published the remaining NASA World Wind files for the Maplecroft Global Map Series. These maps will be updated as often as needed and are a great resource for various target groups, namely researchers, educational institutes and businesses.

The following maps can now be downloaded in World Wind format:

* Global map of carbon resources
* Global map of child labour
* Global map of child rights risk
* Global map of climate change
* Global map of corruption transparency
* Global map of digital inclusion
* Global map of displacement
