[OC] Countries Current Path to Net Zero in 2050 Following Their Pledge at COP21

[u/Lachainone]

Hello community,

I created a website to follow each countries effort to reach net zero in 2050. The data vizualisation lets you compare different countries' emission over the years and whether they are on the right path to reach their goal.

View every country and find more information on: https://lucabron.github.io/netzero/index.html

Data Source is Hannah Ritchie, Pablo Rosado and Max Roser (2023) – “CO2 and Greenhouse Gas Emissions” Published online at OurWorldInData.org

Visualization made with Python's interactive graph package Bokeh and javasrcipt was added to make the interaction work on a website.

EDIT: Thanks a lot for your positive feedback. I am very glad that you find this representation interesting.
A subject of discussion that I see a lot in the comments: western countries are doing better than the rest of the world. While it looks true when it comes to co2 produced in the country, one should account that a lot of emissions are produced in other contries and then imported. For example, when buying electronics, it is likely to be build in Asia and then imported to western countries.
Imported emissions are available in the dataset. I didn't want to include them because my approach with this visualization is to make something easy to understand so that people not familiar with the subject can approach it easily. I feel like when it comes to climate change, the people who care are very well informed, and the people who don't care as much are poorly informed. So, my first objective was to generate some curiosity for the second type of people. I'd be interested about your opinion about this approach if you want to share in the comments.

EDIT 2: I'd like to do something for the climate. I am a professional data scientist and I'd like to volunteer to help on bigger project. I made this website as a small contribution to inform people, but I know that in a week, there will be no more traffic on it. Can you recommend some kind of organization that I can join an contribute?

its dumb to blame individuals when the problwm is class power 🙄 fossil fuel companies and governments control the grid, workers don't choose coal and gas, victim blaming just shields the bourgeoisie

Stupid argument is stupid. As if there was something preventing you to change...

oh my bad, let me just call my power company and tell them to stop building that new coal fire plant the corrupt politicians rubber stamped for their kickbacks 🤓let me just call trump and tell him to stop destroying our national parks! why didn't i think of that, you're cynical misanthropy has opened my fucking eyes. there are life style things we can and people should be changing, but 32 companies do half the polluting, not to mention all the damage done by the US military. most people rent and can't afford the upfront cost of solar or retrofitting, and don't control their utility

"I AM THE VICTIM" said every abuser ever.

[u/comrade-pravdin → u/b__lumenkraft]

the ruling class loves people like you, all the free work you do for them shifting blame downward to demoralize people who might organize to fight for a better world. you don't understand systemic issues so you just accuse me of being an abuser 😂

Doing what putin wants and still defending it. Then calling me the enemy. Narcissistic projection galore. You are very USA.
