These maps will be updated as often as needed and are a great resource for various target groups, namely researchers, educational institutes and businesses.

Maplecroft Global Maps analyses a wide range of environmental, social, economic and political issues that impact on society and the goals of business. This is one of the first steps we are taking in making our data more interoperable. We (Maplecroft) have already published all of our global maps in Google Earth kml format at the end of 2006.
