- Interactive Map: Visualizes migration patterns by adjusting the transparency of each country, where color intensities represent net migration rates.
- Year Slider: Users can navigate through years from 1950 to the current year to see the changes in migration patterns over time.
- Detailed Tooltip: Hovering over a country provides specific migration rate data for the selected year.
- Event List: Displays significant global events influencing migration patterns.
- Predictive Analytics: Showcases an article detailing the potential impacts of climate change on future migration patterns when selecting a year beyond the present.
Our goal with this tool is to raise awareness about global migration trends and their correlation with various world events and climatic changes.
