Questions and Answers

  • What standards does the climate dashboard work to?

    Each of our graphics or visualizations contains a reference to the data source used so that it is possible to classify and understand the credibility, timeliness and relevance of the data and to research it if interested. We primarily visualize data from public authorities and recognized scientific institutions. Our visualizations are created in close cooperation with experts from the respective fields.

  • May graphics and data be reused?

    All charts and visualisations may be reused, whether for teaching, reporting or other purposes. Each chart can be exported as an image or interactive iFrame in the top right-hand corner. In addition, we link to the raw data set for almost all graphics. You are welcome to use these data sets to create your own graphics, provided you refer to the original source (and observe the respective provisions of the source). If you have any questions, please contact the team at team@klimadashboard.org.

  • Who is building the climate dashboard and how is it financed?

    The climate crisis is complex and much of the data remains inaccessible. We make it understandable - with interactive visualizations for politics, media and civil society. Challenges, consequences, solutions: compact and clearly presented.

    The climate dashboard is a non-profit, interdisciplinary project combining design, science, communication and technology - freely accessible, without a paywall. Made possible by voluntary work, prize money and donations.

  • What are the goals of the climate dashboard?

    The aim of our work is to use data and facts to classify compliance with the Paris Climate Agreement and the associated transformations so that they can be scientifically sound and socially just. We want to be a reliable source of current and regional data on the climate crisis. In addition to civil society as a whole, we particularly address media professionals, teachers and political decision-makers, whereby we want to promote data-based reporting and science-based climate policy. To this end, we are constantly working on new visualizations and are in regular exchange with science, media, politics and civil society - but always independent in terms of content.

  • How do I quote graphics from the climate dashboard?

    You are welcome to use graphics from the climate dashboard in scientific papers or other publications. For example, if you would like to use the graphic on production-related emissions in Germany, cite it as follows: 

    Klimadashboard. (n.d.). Production-based emissions. Klimadashboard Deutschland. Retrieved on [day] [month] [year] from https://klimadashboard.de/emissionen
    In the text: (Klimadashboard, n.d.)
