"World Population and CO2 Emissions: 1960-2020" by Guenter Richter

The purpose of this map is to illustrate the varying dynamics between world population growth and correlated CO2 emissions over the same time period through a single visualization.
This geographic representation presents two datasets from distinct sources, superimposing the global population growth and CO2 emissions over the past 60 years.
The progression of the global population is depicted as a graph across time for each country, with a focus on the most recent 10 years highlighted by different colors.
CO2 emissions are visualized using circular charts, displaying emission trends over time in a clockwise manner, commencing at 12 o’clock. In this chart, values are aggregated across a grid to prevent overlap.
Population data is sourced from the World Bank Open Data release, while CO2 emission data is obtained from Our World in Data.
