I made this new chart showing that more and more countries decoupled economic growth from CO₂ emissions. (Source: ourworldindata.org/co2-and-greenh…)
How common is war and peace between and within countries? How has this changed? Our new topic page on war and peace @OurWorldInData visualizes major data sources and summarizes both key insights and the data. ourworldindata.org/war-and-peace A thread on what the page has in store:
How much progress has been made toward women’s political equality? How far do we still have to go? For #InternationalWomensDay, I have written an article @OurWorldInData on women’s political rights and representation: ourworldindata.org/women-politica… A thread with the highlights:
How many countries have nuclear weapons, how many warheads do they possess, and how has this changed over time? We just updated and revised our topic page on nuclear weapons @OurWorldInData: ourworldindata.org/nuclear-weapons A thread on what the page has in store:
Do governments worldwide have the ability to implement their policies and achieve their goals? We just published a new topic page on state capacity @OurWorldInData: ourworldindata.org/state-capacity A thread on what the page has in store:
6 million children under 15 die per year. That’s around 16,000 deaths every day, or 11 every minute. We’ve updated our page @OurWorldInData on one of the world’s largest problems – child & infant mortality. Below I’ll share 6 key charts on this topic. ourworldindata.org/child-and-infa…
The Human Development Index and related indices seek to measure development beyond simply economic growth. How do these indices work? And what can we learn from them? @parriagadap and I discuss in our new article @OurWorldInData: ourworldindata.org/human-developm… A thread:
Today is #NuclearWeaponsEliminationDay. How far are we from achieving this goal? There are many fewer nuclear weapons than decades ago, and many countries gave up obtaining them. But a few countries retain large destructive arsenals. A thread with charts from @OurWorldInData:
Tomorrow is International #DemocracyDay. So let’s check in on the development and state of democracy worldwide. The world has become much more democratic over the last centuries. But some of this progress has recently been reversed. A thread with some key charts:
The world has made much progress toward reducing homicides. Recently, rates have decreased in most countries. But they have increased in others, mostly located in the Americas. So we are still far from the Sustainable Development Goal of significantly reducing these deaths.
Effective protection of key biodiversity areas (KBAs) is a crucial component of conserving biodiversity. This chart shows what % of each country's KBAs are covered by protected areas, an indicator being tracked in the Sustainable Development Goals. ourworldindata.org/sdgs/life-belo…
Would you like to better understand how common terrorism is, how this differs between countries, and whether terrorism is becoming less frequent? We just published a new topic page on terrorism @OurWorldInData: ourworldindata.org/terrorism A thread on what the page has in store:
Safe sanitation is one of the foundations of public health. But many people lack access to these basic facilities. By 2030, the UN SDG goal is to achieve access to adequate & equitable sanitation & hygiene for all. How well is the world doing? ourworldindata.org/sdgs/clean-wat…
The world has made much progress toward gender equality and women’s empowerment. For example, 25% of legislators in national parliaments are now women, up from less than 9% in 1993. But the world is still far from the Sustainable Development Goal of full gender equality.
Would you like to better understand how tourism around the world has changed, and how its economic and environmental impact differs across countries? We just overhauled our Tourism topic page @OurWorldInData: ourworldindata.org/tourism A thread on what the new page has in store:
Would you like to understand better how common homicides are, how this differs between countries, and whether they are becoming less frequent? We just overhauled our Homicides topic page @OurWorldInData: ourworldindata.org/homicides A thread on what the new page has in store:
