Olive Production

tina-gotthardt — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 21:38:53 +0000

Territory size is proportional to the olives harvested there in 2016.

Data sources
This map uses data by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) (last accessed March 2018). We aim to map as complete data as possible and therefore estimate data for missing values. In some cases, missing data for very small territories is not used in the cartogram and that area is therefore omitted in the map.

All modification to the original data source are noted in our data sheets. Data will be provided soon.

CO₂ Emissions per capita 2020

tina-gotthardt — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 21:02:11 +0000

The Kyoto Protocol was the first serious effort to not only acknowledging a role of humans in global warming, but to also implement measures to reducing this impact caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Since then, carbon emissions have been rising constantly, largely fuelled by considerable economic growth. Qatar has the highest emission of Carbon per capita (37 tons per year), followed by New Caledonia (30 t/y), Mongolia (26 t/y), Trinidad and Tobago (25 t/y) and Brunei (23 t/y). Overall 24 countries have Carbon emissions of more than 10 tons per capita. Democratic Republic of the Congo has the lowest Carbon emission per capita (0.027 t/y), followed by Somalia (0.035 t/y), Central African Republic (0.039 t/y) and Burundi (0.05 t/y). Overall just under 60 countries have a per capita Carbon emissions lower than 1 ton per year.

For a disaster to included at least one of the following criteria must be fulfilled:
Ten (10) or more people reported killed
Hundred (100) or more people reported affected
Declaration of a state of emergency
Call for international assistance

Germany General Election 2025

Worldmapper — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 22:09:08 +0000

On 23 February 2025 Germans went to the polls to elect a new parliament. The collapse of the coalition between SPD, Die Grünen, and FDP in November 2024 led to a snap election just over half a year ahead of the scheduled general election in the autumn. The final result saw the Christian Democrats come first with 22.6 per cent of the votes, an increase of 3.6 per cent. Combined with their the Bavarian sister-party CSU's 6.0 per cent (up 0.8 per cent) they are the strongest force in the new Bundestag, together holding 208 of the 630 seats. The extreme right ‘Alternative for Germany‘ (Alternative für Deutschland, AfD) gained most new votes with a vote share of 20.8 per cent (up 10.4 per cent, 152 seats). The party of (outgoing) chancellor Olaf Scholz came third with 16.4 percent (down 9.3 percent, 120 seats). The Green party (Grüne) came fourth, securing 11.6 percent of the list vote (down 3.1%, 85 seats). Die Linke won 8.8 per cent (up 3.9 per cent, 39 seats). Former co-governing FDP did not enter parliament due to their vote share of 4.3 per cent which is below the 5 per cent threshold to enter parliament (down 7.1 per cent). Danish minority party SSW reached 0.2 percent in the list vote but gained one seat through special rules for parties representing minorities. Other parties not represented in parliament accounted for 9.4 percent of the valid votes. This pair of maps shows on the left the winning parties of the constituency vote (Erststimme) which directly elects a constituency representative into parliament and on the right the strongest party in the list vote (Zweitstimme) which determines the proportional representation for each party in the new parliament. These results are shown as gridded population cartograms which are proportional to the respective population there, accompanied by a small ‘conventional’ land area map.

Countries Banned at the Olympic Games 1920-2024

Worldmapper — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 14:00:36 +0000

13 countries have been banned from participating in the Olympic Games in the recent history of the games between 1920 and 2024. Historically, nations have been banned for various reasons, including involvement in wars, racial segregation, political issues, and violations of International Olympic Committee (IOC) rules. Countries banned include Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey, which were banned after World War I, and Germany and Japan after World War II. South Africa was banned from 1964 to 1992 due to apartheid, and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) was banned in 1972 over its racial policies. Afghanistan was banned in 2000 due to the Taliban's stance on women, and Kuwait was suspended in 2015 due to government interference in its Olympic committee. More recent bans have involved Russia and Belarus, which are excluded from the 2024 Paris Olympics due to their involvement in the Ukraine war. However, a small number of athletes from these countries will compete under the designation of "Individual Neutral Athletes" (AIN), meaning they cannot represent their nations officially through flags, anthems, or uniforms.

Anthropocene Worlds

This map shows the land surface resized by its population overlaid with data related to human action and interaction on the planet. Each transformed grid cell in the map is proportional to the total number of people living in that area.

Data sources
This map uses population estimates for the year 2020 based on data from the Gridded Population of the World (GPW), v4 at 0.25 degree resolution, released by SEDAC (Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center). The information of an interconnected world redrawn in this map was assembled by Globaïa. The following datasets were used (accessed October 2016):
– Roads, railways, pipelines, transmission lines: Mapability.com
– Submarine cables: Cablemap.info
– Air routes: ICAO stats
– Shipping lanes: NCEAS data
– Built-up areas: NaturalEarth and SAGE
