About GlobeChart

Making sense of our changing world through trusted data and clear visualizations.

Our Mission

GlobeChart exists to make understanding our world simple. We transform complex global data into clear, interactive visualizations that reveal the true state of poverty, health, education, climate, and economic development across the planet.

In an era of information overload and misinformation, we cut through the noise by presenting only the most reliable, up-to-date statistics from trusted international organizations. Our goal is to empower everyone—from policymakers to students to curious citizens—with accurate insights about the challenges and progress shaping humanity.

What We Do

📊

Trusted Data Sources

We rely exclusively on official statistics from institutions like the World Bank, United Nations, WHO, UNDP, UNICEF, OECD, and leading research organizations. Every chart cites its source, ensuring transparency and credibility.

🎨

Clear Visualizations

Complex datasets become comprehensible through thoughtfully designed interactive charts. We prioritize clarity over complexity, using colors, labels, and layouts that make patterns immediately visible and insights accessible.

🔄

Latest Statistics

We continuously update our visualizations with the most recent available data. When new reports are published or methodologies change, we revise our charts to reflect the current reality, not outdated information.

🌐

Global Perspective

Our coverage spans the entire world, from global trends to regional patterns to country-level data. We show where progress is happening and where challenges persist, providing context that single-country analyses miss.

Topics We Cover

Poverty

Extreme poverty, multidimensional poverty, child poverty, regional trends, climate-poverty connections, and evidence-based reduction strategies. We track progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goal of ending poverty by 2030.

Economy

GDP growth, income inequality, trade patterns, employment trends, inflation, debt levels, and economic development indicators. We show how economies evolve and what drives prosperity or stagnation.

Health

Life expectancy, maternal and child mortality, disease burden, health system capacity, vaccination coverage, malnutrition, and access to healthcare. We visualize both progress in global health and remaining challenges.

Education

School enrollment rates, literacy, learning outcomes, educational quality, gender gaps, and access to education at all levels. We highlight the link between education and development.

Climate

Greenhouse gas emissions, temperature changes, extreme weather events, renewable energy adoption, climate adaptation, and the intersection of climate change with poverty and development.

Our Data Sources

We source data exclusively from recognized international organizations and peer-reviewed research:

  • World Bank: Poverty & Inequality Platform, World Development Indicators, climate and development data
  • United Nations: Sustainable Development Goals database, population statistics, development reports
  • UNDP: Global Multidimensional Poverty Index, Human Development Index, inequality metrics
  • UNICEF: Child poverty, education, health, and nutrition statistics
  • WHO: Global health data, disease burden, health system indicators
  • OECD: Economic data for developed countries, education statistics, development assistance
  • IPCC: Climate science, emissions data, impact assessments
  • OPHI (Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative): Multidimensional poverty measurement
  • Research Institutions: J-PAL, IPA, academic journals for evidence on what works

Every visualization on GlobeChart includes a clear source citation, allowing you to verify the data and explore the original reports for deeper context.

Our Principles

1. Accuracy Above All

We never manipulate data to tell a particular story. Charts reflect official statistics exactly as published, with methodological notes when relevant. If data is uncertain or estimates vary, we acknowledge it.

2. Transparency in Methods

Every page includes methodology sections explaining how indicators are measured, what definitions mean, and what limitations exist. We believe understanding the data is as important as seeing the results.

3. Context Matters

Numbers don't speak for themselves. We provide explanatory text, key insights, and comparative context to help you interpret what the data means for real people and communities.

4. Accessibility for All

Complex global data shouldn't require an economics degree to understand. We design for clarity, using plain language and intuitive visualizations that make insights available to everyone.

5. Regular Updates

The world changes constantly, and so do statistics. We monitor releases from our data sources and update visualizations when new information becomes available, ensuring you always see the latest picture.

6. No Paywalls, No Ads

Knowledge about our world should be free and accessible. GlobeChart operates without subscription fees or advertising, making trusted data available to anyone with internet access.

Why This Matters

Informed decisions require accurate information. Whether you're a student researching global issues, a policymaker designing interventions, a journalist covering development, or simply someone who wants to understand our world better—reliable data matters.

Progress against poverty, disease, illiteracy, and inequality is real but uneven. Climate change threatens hard-won gains. Economic development lifts billions while leaving millions behind. These aren't abstract statistics—they represent human lives, opportunities, and futures.

By making this data clear and accessible, we hope to:

  • Help people understand where humanity stands on critical challenges
  • Highlight what works in development and poverty reduction
  • Show both the progress we've made and the work that remains
  • Enable evidence-based conversations about global priorities
  • Inspire action by revealing what's possible when solutions are implemented

The challenges facing our world are immense, but they're not insurmountable. Understanding them clearly is the first step toward solving them.
