Visualizing Climate Equity: The CAIT Equity Explorer

The CAIT Equity Explorer is an online visualization tool developed by the World Resources Institute to support UNFCCC climate negotiations. It allows users to compare countries using a variety of metrics related to emissions, development capacity, and vulnerability through radar and column charts.

• The CAIT Equity Explorer provides a range of indicators for comparing countries, covering current, historical, and projected emissions, as well as development capacity, vulnerability, and the potential benefits of actions.
• The tool employs two primary visualization methods: radar charts for integrated, holistic comparisons of multiple indicators across several countries, and column charts for viewing the rank of countries against a single indicator.
