Visualization holds immense power to aid understanding, decision making, communication, discussion, participation, education, and exploration of complex topics around climate action and sustainability. This workshop aims to explore and consolidate the role of data visualization in accelerating action towards addressing the current environmental crisis.
摘要
The workshop aims to explore and consolidate the role of data visualization in accelerating action towards addressing the current environmental crisis. It is motivated by the urgency and impact of the environmental crisis, and the belief that visualization can empower people and organizations by aiding understanding, decision making, communication, discussion, participation, education, and exploration of complex topics around climate action and sustainability.
The workshop solicits submissions and discussion around a broad range of topics, including:
Balancing visual complexity, depth of information, and visual/data literacy
Understanding abstract and unfamiliar scales of time, space, and numbers
Encoding, informing, and presenting uncertain data efficiently
Dealing with heterogeneous data sets (spatial, temporal, relational, multidimensional, 3D, 4D, etc.)
Making model projections more accessible and actionable for the general public
Tailoring information and visualization to diverse audiences
Working with policymakers and communities at risk
Creating empathy with current and future people and populations
Supporting carbon accounting and monitoring systems
Tracking and monitoring the circular economy
Supporting decision making on personal and collaborative levels
Fostering engagement and participation on a community level
Leveraging new and immersive technologies for analysis, communication, and awareness
Training the creators of visualizations
Preventing the misuse of visualization and providing for critical engagement
The workshop aims to collect research, examples, case studies, and experiences around working with visualization in the broad area of climate and sustainability, discuss and explore the potential of how visualization knowledge and research can help address issues in these domains, and understand the challenges and opportunities for general visualization research.
統計資料
"To date, most of the work has been scattered across many different domains such as climate and environmental research, science communication, domain specific applications, scientific storytelling, and physicalization."
"Climate and sustainability is such a huge—overwhelming, debated and arguably quickly evolving area—that we currently lack a clear understanding of why visualization for climate and sustainability justifies its own approaches and contributions, and what such are."
引述
"Data visualization is uniquely positioned to support many of these processes and has a long tradition in climate science."
"If not, we, as a community, are at risk of missing opportunities and losing agency within this highly dynamic space of prime importance."
