About
One question. 250 countries.
VisualClimate is a civilian-run, real-time climate accountability platform. We track 250 countries across 67 indicators to answer one question: Is your country keeping its climate promise?
Every chart on this platform is built from publicly available data — from the World Bank, Ember Climate, Our World in Data, ND-GAIN, and Climate TRACE. We aggregate, normalize, and visualize this data to make climate accountability accessible to anyone.
The Climate Report Card grades countries on five dimensions: emissions efficiency, energy transition, economic decoupling, historical responsibility, and climate resilience. Grades are relative — they measure each country against the full global distribution, not against a fixed climate-safe threshold.
Charts are designed to be downloaded and shared directly on LinkedIn. No subscription required. No paywall. Every poster is free.
10 Primary Data Sources
GDP, CO2 per capita, energy use, forest area, population
GHG emissions, NDC tracking, Paris Agreement targets
Electricity mix, renewable %, fossil %, carbon intensity
Cumulative CO2, temperature attribution, methane, N2O
Country vulnerability and readiness to climate change
Satellite-based sector-level GHG emissions (9 sectors)
Science basis for climate projections and risk assessment
Annual gap between current pledges and 1.5C pathway
Global carbon budget, land-use emissions, ocean sinks
Energy sector pathway to net zero by 2050
Open Source
VisualClimate is built with Next.js, Supabase, and D3.js. The ETL pipelines, scoring algorithms, and indicator definitions are publicly documented in the methodology page. Data is refreshed annually from primary sources.
VisualClimate is an independent project and is not affiliated with the World Bank, UNEP, WMO, IPCC, Ember, ND-GAIN, Climate TRACE, Our World in Data, or any other cited organization. All data is used under their respective open data licenses. Grades and classifications are our own derived metrics and do not represent official positions of any government or institution.
