Advocate IWEEK 2 - Who Drives Climate Change? A Data-Driven Perspective
This report explores the evolution of climate change through a data-driven perspective, focusing on three key global indicators: CO₂ emissions, temperature anomalies, and sea level rise.
The analysis is structured to guide the reader from global trends to regional and country-level responsibilities, highlighting both total emissions and per-capita impacts. By combining temporal analysis, geographic visualizations, and comparative indicators, the report aims to answer a central question:
Who is driving climate change, and how is its impact distributed across the world?
Report Structure
Overview pages present long-term global trends in temperature anomalies and sea level rise.
Emissions analysis highlights major CO₂ emitters, historical emission patterns, and differences between total emissions and population-adjusted responsibility.
Geographic insights use interactive maps to visualize emissions distribution and regional disparities.
Regional breakdowns (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania) reveal contrasting emission trajectories over time.
Key Insights
Global CO₂ emissions have increased unevenly across regions, with strong disparities between total emissions and per-capita responsibility.
Temperature anomalies and sea level rise show persistent upward trends, reinforcing the long-term nature of climate change.
Some regions contribute relatively little to global emissions while being more exposed to climate impacts, raising important questions around responsibility and equity.
This dashboard is designed for exploration and storytelling, allowing users to interact with time filters, geographic selections, and indicators to uncover patterns and relationships within the data. It aims to support informed discussions on climate responsibility, sustainability, and global policy challenges.
