This trio of charts sums up what makes data visualization so powerful a storytelling tool and so challenging an art form. To quote John Green, the truth resists simplicity
The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.
All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems.
We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵
