Visualizing sustainability and climate change on Wikipedia
Test the updated visualization tool for articles related to sustainability and climate change.
Visualizing Sustainability and Climate Change is a project aimed at identifying and visualizing knowledge gaps related to sustainability and climate change on Wikipedia. The project helps measure these knowledge gaps, supports communities in improving content on this important topic, facilitates collaboration among multilingual communities and partners, and strengthens the capacity of Wikipedia contributors to document and share information on sustainability and climate change.
In practice, in collaboration with Wikimedia projects focused on sustainability and climate change, the initiative produces the visual tool Wikipedia Panorama that allows users to evaluate and monitor the quality and quantity of articles related to sustainability and climate change on Wikipedia across different languages.
