Overview

Plain-language issue summary

Climate change is tracked here as a data topic covering emissions, energy access, transition indicators, exposure, and country-level change over time.

This first version uses app-ready local data. Temperature, weather, disaster, renewable energy, and policy indicators can be added as new sources are downloaded.

Current Situation

Workspace status

The CO2 per-capita file is paused because validation found implausible recent drops. The page is ready for a refreshed World Bank or Climate Watch source.

Emissions refresh needed Ranking paused Weather planned Temperature planned

Key Numbers

Latest available observations from connected datasets

Trends

Line graphs show time and amounts for selected countries and world aggregates

Timeline

Data-page milestones

Now

CO2 emissions per capita is paused after validation found implausible values in the local archive file.

Next

Add renewable energy, temperature change, weather, disasters, and policy sources.

Later

Build country positions, regional exposure maps, and verified update tracking.

Sources & Methodology

Connected and planned data

Connected

World Bank access to electricity is connected. CO2 emissions per capita is present locally but paused from charts until refreshed.

Method

Charts use yearly observations from the source CSV. Rankings use the latest available country value.

Needed

Temperature, precipitation, disaster exposure, renewable energy, methane, and climate policy datasets.
