This project aims to explore the possibilities of mapping global scale data onto an 3D globe – in this case the CO2 emissions per country in Megatons.
The project reveals the five biggest contributors to CO2 Emissions in 2019 – China, USA, Russia, Indian & Japan
and also shows how little CO2 is emitted by countries more likeley to affected by climate change.
Process
For this grasshopper visualization a .GEOJSON file with the data for the outlines of the countries and their CO2 emissions were
mapped from 2D onto a sphere, extruded boxes around the contries centerpoints represent the emitted CO2 value in MT.
