Viz4Climate + Sustainability: IEEE VIS 2024 Workshop on Visualization for Climate Action and Sustainability

Half-day hybrid workshop on October 14th, 2024: Morning IEEE Vis 2024 Conference, St. Pete Beach, Fl, USA

About

We welcome submissions to the first hybrid online IEEE VIS workshop on visualization for climate action and sustainability. This workshop aims to explore and consolidate the role of data visualization in accelerating action for addressing environmental challenges and climate change. Given the urgency and impact of the environmental crisis, we ask how our skills, research methods, innovations and visualization practice can help by empowering people and organizations. We believe visualization holds an enormous power to aid understanding, decision making, communication, discussion, participation, education, and exploration of complex topics around climate action and sustainability.

This is a hybrid workshop: you can present and attend online or in person provided that you are registered for the VIS2024 conference. Remote attendance has a reduced fee.

Topics and Questions

The large scope and complex nature of the multi-faceted problem of visualization for climate action and sustainability is best addressed in an half-day dedicated, informal, interactive workshop that brings together diverse contributions, viewpoints, and reflections on the topic, followed by discussions. The workshop encourages submissions around a broad variety of topics, challenges, and questions including (but not limited to):

For some of these questions, we can start from the techniques and knowledge we have gained about visualization in general—others might require entirely new ways of thinking across information visualization, scientific visualization, analytics, illustration, information design, human-computer interaction, education, cognition, etc. Addressing these questions can lead to guidelines, collaborative platforms, visualization principles and techniques, toolkits, method- ologies, visualization activities, analysis methods, interactive spaces and experiences, games, and potentially many more.

Workshop History

This workshop builds on the 2022 Viz4Climate workshop at IEEE VIS 2022, co-organized by Helen-Nicole Kostis, Mark SubbaRao, and Marlen Promann.
