OVERVIEW

In our information visualization project we were interested in the side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and if there might also be positive effects such as lower CO₂ emissions. To visualize whether COVID-19 led to a change in CO₂ emissions, we implemented an emissions dashboard website. The first part of our website consists of a map visualization showing the change of CO₂ emissions per country compared to the year prior to the pandemic (2019). We implemented a slider to enable users to navigate between days and see how the emissions changed throughout the year.

The second part of our dashboard is a graph visualization which shows hard lockdown phases and gives a more detailed overview of how CO₂ emissions changed throughout the year. We included three countries that can be selected to show them next to each other for deeper comparisons. The graphs are interactive and can be scrolled in as well as provide detailled CO₂ values on hover.
