Final Project Idea

For my project I found a data set for the total greenhouse gas emissions for the past 16 years by country on the World Bank databank. You can download a csv of this information here. The data set includes:

• Series Name
• Series Code
• Country Name
• Country Code
• Total greenhouse gas emissions by year (1990-2016)

Here are a couple different ways I would visualize this data:

1. A world map where the countries change color based on how much greenhouse gases are emitted, incorporating a year slider.


2. A set of circles whose radius is directly related to the numerical value of the emissions, where you can click on the circle to get the country info, also incorporating a year slider.


3. A stacked line graph with year as the x axis and emissions as the y, showing the countries of one particular continent at a time, or by economic group, which is selected with buttons.
