Climate Change · The State of the Science

Created through a collaboration between the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme and Globaïa, and supported by funding from the United Nations Foundation, this data visualisation presents a compelling synthesis of the most crucial findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report.

Specifically, the visualisation focuses on the Working Group I Summary for Policymakers, which outlines the Physical Science Basis of climate change. In 2014, the IPCC released additional summaries that delved into the societal impacts of climate change, as well as potential mitigation and adaptation strategies.

By effectively summarising and visually representing these key points from the IPCC's comprehensive report, this data visualisation offers a powerful tool for increasing awareness and understanding of the urgent challenges posed by climate change, ultimately empowering policymakers and the public to make informed decisions and take necessary actions.
