Read on to explore the work of many of our partners who are using maps to visualize climate projections and impacts, illustrate drivers of climate change, provoke political action, and help implement solutions to reduce emissions. We hope this inspires more climate-related mapping that is urgently...
Furthermore, communicating and visualising uncertainties in climate data and climate change projections, using for example ensemble based approaches, presents additional challenges for mapping that require careful consideration. The aim of this paper is to provide background information and guidance on ...
Azimuthal Projections: Also referred to as planar or zenithal projections, these use a flat plane that touches the Earth at a single point, projecting the Earth’s features onto the plane. Azimuthal Equidistant, Stereographic, and Orthographic projections are examples. Pseudocylindrical Projections: Th...

Countries close to the equator barely change, whereas countries further north shrink dramatically. The maps are all the work of climate data scientist @neilrkaye. You can see an animation below: Map found via reddit, click for larger versionThe map also gives a bar graph to show the ...
World maps can often be misleading due to how the three-dimensional earth is projected onto a two-dimensional surface. Different projections distort various elements such as size, shape, or distance. One of the most famous projections is theMercator projection, often criticized for enlarging the si...

Thiaw expressed optimism at the closing plenary, highlighting the launch of the Riyadh Global Drought Resilience Partnership as a landmark initiative in the fight against drought. He also pointed out the interconnectedness of land degradation with broader global challenges such as climate change, biodive...
Still, while the analysis includes data up to 2017, it will not consider projections for how climate change will impact future storms. “One of the fatal flaws of FEMA flood maps is that they are largely backward-looking,” Rob Moore, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s wate...
