Your contribution to climate change: see your impact on the Earth's vital signs

As California suffers its worst drought in recent history, flooding has driven thousands from their homes in India and Pakistan, and Pacific islanders watch the ocean slowly invade their shores.

While it’s impossible to say exactly which events are caused by climate change, it’s clearer than ever that the health of our planet affects us all – and that our collective actions, likewise, have an ‘unequivocal’ impact on the Earth. But what can we, as individuals, do?

The first step to answering that question is taking stock of where we are now. We’ve collected a few key indicators of the Earth’s health – its vital signs – into this dashboard. View up-to-date snapshots of the effects your country and the human race are having on our environment.
