Abstract
In the face of pressing global issues like climate change, data visualization is a powerful tool for making sense of complexity. With the project “A Perfect Storm”, we aim to engage audiences in the oft-difficult conversation around global climate change in a way that considers the emotional responses that the topic can trigger. Through a metaphorical approach of visually juxtaposing countries' climate risk with their climate responsibility, we encourage critical reflection on the human experience and inequities of climate change related loss.
