Welcome to the datasets for the World Data Visualization Prize 2023 data-design challenge

A $50,000 challenge from the World Government Summit

Here are the three key datasets - though you are welcome to add your own relevant metrics & data from reputable sources

BUT YOU MUST USE SOME OF OUR DATA IN YOUR EXECUTION

CONCEPT
20
A global data snapshot the last ten years (2010-2020 due to pandemic)
21
What's improved, what's broken through? What's gone supernova?
22
What's struggled? Where are the bottlenecks? Where do we need to pay more attention?
23
24
DIRECTION
25
We probably don't need to see all these metrics. But maybe there's a way?
26
Maybe focus on a set, a category or even just one metric. A series of charts or a single graphic could also work.
27
Are there some interesting ways to depict data over a time series?
28
Are there stories or drivers around this data that might be worth surfacing?
29
Is there other data you might bring in? Have we missed any important metrics?
30
31
DATA NOTES
32
The pandemic has obviously distorted recent statistics.
33
That's why we've capped the range at 2010-2020. But also include 2009 and 2021 where available if you need a full 10 years.

CONCEPT
39
Every organisation, not least governments, need to be able to see how well they, their nation, and their populace are doing.
40
Design us a data display / dashboard for this purpose.
41
Show us how a dashboard might look, feel and function. Is it in a traditional style or can it be unified into something higher-concept?
42
43
DIRECTION
44
Get into the head of a decision maker.
45
Which metrics are most primary? What comparisons are useful?
46
What's seems relevant or interesting to you?
47
Focus on a single country? - or maybe a region?
48
How might you fold in other countries? USA vs China. Regions vs Region. Rival vs Rival. Neighbour vs Neighbour.

DATA NOTES
51
We've included time series for some data points - or two year comparisons for others
52
Feel free to dig into the original sources to get the full time series if you want

Here's an R library to convert the data into Tableau readable data format (By Nick Nivali @NivaliNick)

CONCEPT
59
What key factors & drivers might shape the society, government and citizens of the future?
60
Tracking and visualising our progress and predictions
61
Innovation in adaptation, future governance, public services, and social technology.
62
63
DIRECTION
64
Give us a way to see and explore the landscape of the future.
65
Consider how you might handle text. Feel free to exclude items. Create links, interdependencies, overlaps between items.
66
Is there other data you might bring in? Have we missed any factors?

This may suit a diagram or concept map form, rather than a straight data-visualisation
