About

One Question. 200+ Countries.

VisualClimate is a civilian-run, real-time climate accountability platform. We track 200+ countries across 60+ 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.

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. All derived indicators (DERIVED.*) are computed from scratch on each update cycle.

Tech Stack: Next.js 16 · Supabase · TypeScript · Tailwind
Charts: D3.js (geo) · React SVG (all other charts)
Hosting: Vercel · Supabase Cloud
