Week 4 - Earth Health Report Analysis 03-14-2025 23:59 PM

The dashboard comprehensively analyzes Earth's current environmental challenges, focusing on key areas such as air pollution, plastic pollution, and climate change. By integrating real-time data and advanced analytics, the dashboard offers valuable insights into these pressing issues and highlights actionable steps for improvement.

Key Findings:

1. Air Pollution: The dashboard reveals that a significant portion of the global population is exposed to air pollution levels exceeding the World Health Organization's guidelines. This exposure contributes to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, underscoring the need for stringent air quality management.​

2. Plastic Pollution: The proliferation of plastic waste has overwhelmed ecosystems, particularly oceans, harming marine life, affecting biodiversity, and contributing to long-term environmental damage.​

3. Climate Change: The Earth's average temperature has risen significantly, leading to erratic weather patterns, rising sea levels, and the melting of polar ice caps.

I also include a CO2 footprint calculator in the last page, have fun!

Thanks,

I appreciate all the feedback in the comment section! I've incorporated several visual features into this dashboard that I'm excited to share, as they're also new approaches for me that I use for the first time.

1. Flipping Card Functionality: On the second page, I've added a feature that allows users to flip cards to reveal more details in each section.

2. Year Control Button: This feature enables dynamic visual changes with animations from pages 3 to 5. It works slightly differently on each page: on page 3, the animation progresses year by year, while on page 5, it adds an additional year with each change. This approach provides a clear, year-over-year comparison of trends, which I find particularly effective.

3. Customized 100% Stacked Column Visual: For the 'Top 10 Countries with Least Population % Exposure to PM 2.5 Pollution' visual, I've used a Deneb customized visual. This is a unique take compared to the standard 100% stacked column visual typically used in Power BI.

4. CO2 Transportation Footprint Calculator: This feature utilizes numeric parameter functionality. Initially, I noticed discrepancies in value display, which led me to discover a limitation regarding the number of data points when using numeric parameters as slicers. I resolved this by implementing two slicers that together form a six-digit range. Additionally, I found a dataset with emission factors for remote work but didn't have time to integrate it yet.

This dashboard challenge has been a fantastic learning experience for me, and I hope everyone is enjoying exploring the data as much as I have!

Thanks,

Zofia
