📊 Data update: We've just updated the data in many of our charts on immigration/emigration!

This is data on migrant stocks sourced from the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA). Previously we only had data up to 2020 — now we have through 2024.
A line chart titled “Share of the population that was born in another country” shows the percentage of immigrants in nine countries from 1990 to 2024. Australia’s line starts near 25% in 1990 and climbs to almost 30% by 2024, remaining the highest. Canada rises from around 15% to over 20%. Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States each start below 10% and steadily increase to between 15% and 20%. France begins around 10% and grows to approximately 14%. Peru starts near 0% and rises above 5% after 2015. India and China both remain close to 0% throughout the period. The data source is the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (2024).

Another reasons to tut at the Mercator Map projection - how a circle with a radius of 5,000km, centred on Paris, looks according the Mercator map
A circle placed on a world map using the Mercator projection shows how distorting this way of depicting the world has become. The circle is highly distended forming a large tear-shaped with undue size and prominence given to the northern portion.

Animation can be a gimmicky distraction in data visualization. But when used with care, animation can improve user experiences and help viewers track patterns across charts and metrics. We share five ways you can use animation for more effective data viz: https://buff.ly/3ZDT3tp

The Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day by 2030, new research shows

"The fact that the Arctic sea ice cover has changed so significantly that [its loss in] 2030 is even a remote possibility shows how much change there has already been in the Arctic environment”

🔥 ¿Cómo el incendio de un apartamento se convirtió en una tragedia que envolvió un edificio entero en Valencia y mató a 10 personas?
Lo que pasó en Valencia también ocurrió en la Torre Grenfell, en Londres, en el que murieron 72 personas. Aquí el por qué. 👇

Edificios envueltos en gasolina solida
A pesar de las muertes de Grenfell y El Campanar, en muchos países la normativa no obliga a retirar los polímeros inflamables de las fachadas

In most places in the world, power from new renewables is now cheaper than power from new fossil fuels.

Why did renewables become so cheap so fast?

The answer: learning curves.

We asked people in 8 countries whether they thought different types of platforms were biased.

As the chart shows, their responses varied widely by country. In Brazil, Spain, South Korea, and the US, more people think platforms are biased than not

A hand-drawn map of North America on a ginkgo leaf using the Albers equal-area conic projection. Published by Atlas Guo on Bluesky. Two world maps with blue lines showing approximate distances from Taiwan to various locations where navy warships can reload missiles. The left map focuses on the western Pacific region, showing 800 miles to Japan and 2,000 miles to Australia. The right map shows greater distances in the northern and southern Pacific, including 10,000 miles to Pago Pago in American Samoa. Published in The Wall Street Journal. An isotype chart comparing sales of electric vehicles with conventional (internal combustion) engine cars. Each car icon represents 10,000 cars sold. The chart highlights that 2.7 million combustion engine cars were sold in 2023, compared to just 1.7 million electric, with notable sales in Latin America and the Middle East. The text notes that China's gasoline cars were popular in middle- and lower-income countries due to their cost-effectiveness. Published in Bloomberg. A packed circle chart illustrating different foods and their respective weights in grams. The foods include mangosteen (38.5g), cocoa powder (13g), avocado (14g), and more. Each food item is represented by a circular icon with a cute illustration. The size of each circle proportional to the weight of the item. Published in Graphicacy.

Major AI Large Language Models (LLMs) ranked by capabilities (MMLU)
interactive https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/the-rise-of-generative-ai-large-language-models-llms-like-chatgpt/
A scatter plot showing the evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) from pre-2022 to 2024, with capabilities measured in MMLU scores (20-100) on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Models are color-coded by company (Anthropic, Chinese, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral, OpenAI, and others) and sized by number of parameters. Notable models like GPT-4, Claude 3 Opus, and Gemini are highlighted near the top of the chart, approaching human expert level (89.8 MMLU). A trend line shows the general improvement in capabilities over time.
