1/ The #WorldBank's #SDG atlas covers each #SDG goal in detail with some great datavizzes inside each of them. Check it out! Really a lot of effort went into this.
I have been a huge fan of this project since its inception. Even have the treemaps in an early hardcopy version of the data.
4/ The #UN#BiodiversityLab has produced this great interative website where you can display various remote sensing layers. Biodiversity has now also become a key topic in climate econ.
You can click on the tabs above to change the emissions.
8/ The @HarvardGrwthLab has put together this amazing #Metroverse website that explores urban development, product composition, and technologies, and future pathways. Pick a city and start exploring!
It's a story-telling website, which traces the journey of two fictional refugees David and Sarah, from Africa to Europe, completely annotated with their lived experiences.
And that's it! Back to sorting. There are of course a lot more websites, but these ones were selected for their interactivity and not so much on the getting the data part. For that one needs a separate thread 🙂

What can be done about #COVID19 in #Pakistan? After having worked on this country esp. #Punjab for the past 15 years, let's start with what we KNOW from a data perspective GIVEN there is little testing and little enforcement and just the size of the country of 220 million 1/n...
Taking a composite of satellite images, latest census, and cell phone data, and using machine learning we now know exactly what the population landscape looks like. Its highly complex. My home town, Lahore, seen as the large red color, is just 12 million alone 2/n...
This information can be coded into distinct settlements and mapped onto censuses to get a more accurate picture of population distributions and education structures. This has already been achieved via brute force matching, statistical matching, and machine learning...3/n...
#COVID19 in #Europe thread. Below we see the trends for reported cases and deaths per 1,000,000 pop (pop normalization is imp for comparison). Belgium, France, UK, Sweden, Ireland have started showing exponential growth 1/n.... @IIASAVienna@DianaUrge@IIASA_Library
If we look at the reported cases and deaths for each country, again normalized by population, then one can see the south to north wave. Northern countries are still behind the curve and could see rises in the next few days. see next graph for doubling time... 2/n...
If we sort the countries by doubling time of reported cases / 1m pop relative to past 10 days, then Austria is the clear winner here. Slowing down reported cases is not the same as slowing down deaths. Countries under 10 days are at critical points. 3/n.@DianaUrge@IIASAVienna
