Transforming energy systems through data-driven visual storytelling.
Recent Stories
Our global energy system must change — and science communication is a powerful catalyst.
Through weekly data stories, Visualizing Energy explores the economic, social, and environmental connections to our energy system. Doing so shows how it can be transformed to address inequity, prevent climate disaster, enhance health and social well-being, and restore natural systems.
All of Visualizing Energy’s data, visuals, and original content are free to everyone.
Led by the Boston University Institute for Global Sustainability (IGS), Visualizing Energy was founded by Cutler Cleveland, Professor in the College of Arts & Sciences and an Associate Director of IGS.
