Visualizing Energy

Visualizing Energy is an open access, interdisciplinary science communication project that aims to increase actionable knowledge about a sustainable and just energy transition. It uses visualizations coupled with data stories to communicate in clear, concise, jargon-free language. The project’s initial focus is on three interconnected areas: the connection between energy and human well-being; the history of energy transitions;...
