Total population, 1990–2100 (projected portion banded). Numbers on each line are median age at that decade; the line gets heavier where the dependency ratio is higher (more children + elderly per working-age adult).
The thermal future
Under the selected scenario. The line is mean temperature; the shaded envelope reaches up to the annual maximum. The stripe along the bottom encodes days per year above the 35°C heat-index "livability" threshold — brighter = more dangerous-heat days.
Inequality, standardized
Gini index (0–100). Higher = more unequal. Dashed = projected.
Unemployment
% of labour force. Lower is better. Dashed = projected.
Health: longevity & medical capacity
Life expectancy as the line; each decade node is a bubble sized by physicians per 1,000 people — so you see longevity rising and whether medical capacity keeps pace.
Democracy: thick vs thin
Solid = liberal democracy (elections + rights + checks); dotted = electoral democracy (clean elections alone). Liberal is the stricter measure, so it normally sits at or just below electoral. A red-shaded gap appears only where electoral runs well above liberal — elections without the rule-of-law and rights that make them meaningful. Thresholds: 0.7 strongly democratic, 0.2 authoritarian.
The civic fabric
All 0–1, V-Dem expert-coded. Direction differs by indicator — shown above each chart. Rule of law and free expression: higher is better. Corruption, polarization, and government disinformation: higher is worse. This is the "discourse health" layer — measured by country experts, not scraped from headlines.
Coupled model — how the dimensions bend each other
A small integrated assessment model. Most projections treat each indicator independently; this one couples them — temperature drives GDP growth, GDP drives life expectancy — and integrates the chain forward so a climate shock propagates into income and longevity. Every coupling uses a published, empirically-estimated relationship, cited below. Each plot shows solid observed history flowing into projections: faint dotted = naive independent projection, solid = coupled, shaded fan = uncertainty (climate-model spread propagated through the chain). Adjust a coupling on the left and watch every parameter respond.
Indicator families — the full picture
Pick a family below. Every indicator in it is plotted in full for your selected countries, including the 95% prediction interval / model-spread bands that World View leaves out for legibility. This is the unembellished view — nothing smoothed, all uncertainty shown.
