 [https://impact-visualizer.wmcloud.org/topics/23#bubble Test the updated visualization tool for articles related to sustainability and climate change.]

'''Community''' space, to inform about the tool development, collect community needs and feedback, and test the tool implemented within the project [[Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change|Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change]].

==Context==

=== What is this project about ===
{{Main|Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change}}

[[File:Poster Wikimania 2025-VIZWP-2.jpg|thumb|The project was publicly presented at Wikimania 2025 in Kenya, during a very lively [https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2025:Program/Poster_session poster session], and raised lot’s of interest and curiosity. On the pict, Iolanda Pensa, principal instigator of the project and Florence Devouard. The original version of the poster may be found [[:c:File:VIZWP-Visualising-Wikipedia.pdf|here]]]]
''Visualizing Sustainability and Climate Change'' is a project aimed at identifying and visualizing [[knowledge gaps]] related to sustainability and [[Climate change portal|climate change]] on Wikipedia. The project helps visualize these knowledge gaps, supports communities in improving content on this important topic, facilitates collaboration among multilingual communities and partners, and strengthens the capacity of Wikipedia contributors to document and share information on climate change (as well as sustainability and SDGs).

In practice, in collaboration with Wikimedia projects focused on sustainability and climate change, '''the initiative will produce a visual tool''' that allows users to evaluate and monitor the quality and quantity of articles related to sustainability and climate change on Wikipedia across different languages.<br>
In the long run, the tool is expected to serve beyond the specific « Climate change » topic.

=== Who is involved === 
{{main|Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change/Credits}}
The projet is developped as part of a research project, promoted by SUPSI, funded by the SNSF (grant number 10003183), with the patronage of [[Wikimedia Italia]]. On the Wiki Community side of things, the organizations involved are [[Wikimedistas de Uruguay]], [[Wiki In Africa|Wiki in Africa]], and [[Wiki Education Foundation]]. And its community manager is [[User:Anthere|Anthere]]

=== When does that take place ===
{{main|Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change/Activities}}
The full research project will last 4 years. It launched in May 2025. 

The main goals in 2025 are to 
* Establish the list of climate change related articles the project will work on
* Collect needs and feedbacks for researchers and institutions active in the Wikimedia movement
* Inform the community, host conversations, collect needs, compile feedback. In short... activities to make sure the tool will be useful for wikipedians
* Setting up the specs of the tool (design etc.)
* First implementation of the tool

The main goals in 2026 are to 
* The release of the first version and test phase early 2026
* The release of the second version and test phase late 2026
* Use and assessment of the visualisation tool
* Presentation at Wikimania 2026
* Presentation at FOSDEM 2026 and elsewhere
* Collaborative analytics workshop end of the year

A final release is planned in 2027, or 2028.

=== How is the tool developed ===

Starting points to consider
* The tool will be based on the prototype: https://itwiki-scuola-italiana.toolforge.org/
* as well as on: https://impact-visualizer.wmcloud.org/topics/23
* Starting dataset: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ipk-XgiRcBwf-cEcN98dNmrapCHX57NwQoHDxEMPMSg/edit?usp=sharing access the doc]
* Survey opened early October 2025: [https://survey.linux.it/index.php/189183?lang=en access the survey]
* Access the first sketches and comment: [[Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change/Tool/First iteration]] - Sept-Oct 2025
* Access the second iteration and comment: [[Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change/Tool]] - starting March 2026
