The Paris Agreement central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the agreement aims to strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change. To reach these ambitious goals, appropriate financial flows, a new technology framework and an enhanced capacity building framework will be put in place, thus supporting action by developing countries and the most vulnerable countries, in line with their own national objectives. The Agreement also provides for enhanced transparency of action and support through a more robust transparency framework.

Motivation

Climate hazards are natural events in weather cycles. We’ve always had hurricanes and droughts, flooding and high winds. However, we are currently witnessing a scale of destruction and devastation that is new and terrifying. 2017 alone has seen a series of devastating climate disasters in various parts of the world, extreme weather events such as Hurricane Irma, deadly heat waves in India, Europe and elsewhere, and flooding in south-east Asia. From Houston to Mumbai, millions of homes are underwater or blown over, and millions of people are homeless and impoverished. The evidence is overwhelming:

  • Average of 400 “extreme weather events” every year
  • Since June 2017, roughly 41 million people have been affected by flooding
  • More than 150 million people live on land that will be below sea level or regular flood levels by the end of the century.
  • Growing storm surges and tsunamis threaten nearly a quarter of the world’s population.

In past few years, world leaders have come together to bring all nations together to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change.

Main Objectives

The main objectives for this project are as listed:

Driving Forces behind Climate Change: Through interactive visualization, we aim to study trends in potential economic, science and technology, and climate change indicators over the last 2 decades. We will try to uncover relationship between climate change and economic factors. Since science and technology has advanced significantly during this period, we would like to find out its impact on climate and economic advancement.

Implement Forecast Model for Policymakers: Using R Shiny and Tableau, we want to implement forecast model, driven by interactive visualization, to help policy makers take timely and corrective actions towards climate change.

Afghanistan savings of CO2

Visualization Tools

For our analysis, we propose to do interactive visualization using Tableau, R, and Python. Below is a list of tools, we will try to explore for our analysis:

  • Gephi
  • GGPLOT
  • R-Shiny
  • Tidyverse
  • Plotly
