Visualising Climate 2026: Call for submissions

https://visualisingclimate.com/

About the Conference

In an era of accelerating climate crisis, the role of clear, compelling, and actionable communication has never been more critical.

Visualising Climate is the first global conference on data visualisation for climate and environmental sciences. Bringing together scientists, artists, communicators, and journalists, this event will serve as a meeting point between data and storytelling, evidence and perception, art and science.

Over three days of talks, workshops, and informal conversations, participants will delve into how data can be visualised to inform, engage, inspire action, and influence policy. This summit is a space to share tools, techniques, and case studies that push the boundaries of visual narratives, foster interdisciplinary collaboration and co-creation, and empower change through data visualisation.

Visualising Climate is where the worlds of information and imagination collide to reshape how we see and respond to a changing climate and its impacts and risks for humanity and ecosystems. Come see the data and imagine new ways forward.

Submissions

We invite proposals that explore how data visualisation can support understanding, engagement, and meaningful action in the face of climate and environmental crises. Submissions may address how climate and environmental information is transformed into compelling visual narratives for diverse audiences including policymakers, researchers, and frontline communities.

We welcome scientific, journalistic, artistic, and design-based visualisations, as well as academic papers, tools, methods, and case studies involving interdisciplinary collaboration and co-design.
