A radical social transition needs to take place to prevent the climate change from progressing as rapidly as it is now. In order to achieve that, we need good communication tools, which could spread the environmental awareness and improve the understanding of the current climate action urgency.
Over the past few months that was the focal point of this climate data visualisation project – how can we raise the awareness of the climate action’s urgency?
We reached out to other researchers, activists and engaged in intense brainstorming sessions. Our collaborative efforts materialised into multiple versions of climate future scenarios figures. We aimed to show that well-tailored data visualisations can be a powerful and easily accessible communication tool, which can help us with conveying the urgency and consequences of the crisis we are all already facing!
