Johannes will provide insights from his work tracking global emissions and climate progress through open data and demonstrate how digital storytelling and visualization tools can make complex information accessible. He will also share how his team partnered with the makers of the board game Pandemic to create the climate board game Daybreak/E-Mission that engages audiences beyond the screen.
