Data visualisation
We use data from social media to help visualize online discussions and provide a clearer understanding of current thinking.
Social media does not just describe reality – it creates the reality it describes
this is the power of social media – adapted from Desmund Tutu
Our purpose
Harness the positive power of social media
COP27 will take place 7 – 18 November 2022
at Sharm el-Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt
Prior to COP26 the UN Secretary-General tweeted:
“We are weeks away from #COP26, but seemingly light years away from reaching our #ClimateAction targets. We need more ambition from all countries in three key areas — mitigation, finance, and adaptation. We must get serious. And we must act fast.
- To gain insights as to what is resonating on Twitter about COP27 we will download tweets from Twitter on a weekly basis.
- The first cop27 dataset we downloaded on 2nd August 2022, it contains 18k tweets (including retweets and mentions)

" Failing to decide is the same as deciding to fail" IPCC's response to COP26
The facts show climate action is too slow
- The Paris Agreement in 2015 was the key milestone in gaining agreement from 196 countries to limit global warming to below 2 degrees, whilst acknowledging that 2 degrees would be a catastrophe.
- Since 2015 very little progress has been made – COP26 2021 is being seen as a make or break time.
- Although an issue of debate, many scientists state that our current trajectory will lead to the planet warming by more than 2 degrees.
