Nature Dashboard — Global Health Indicators

Interactive nature and climate dashboard

Nature Dashboard presents global environmental and planetary health indicators in an accessible format. It combines climate metrics, biodiversity trends, ocean and ice data, forest area, renewable energy progress, plastic waste, and protected land coverage to help people explore broad Earth system changes.

Key topics include global temperature anomaly, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, ocean acidification, forest loss, biodiversity decline, threatened species, coral reef cover, renewable energy share, plastic pollution, and protected area expansion.

Climate and carbon: temperature and CO₂ over time
Biodiversity and ecosystems: species, forests, reefs, and protected areas
Ocean health: sea ice extent and surface pH trends
Resource pressure: plastic waste generation and population growth
Renewable energy adoption: global electricity share from renewables
