One Dataset – Three Stories: Data Storytelling for Climate Change Awareness

Data stories are a powerful way to present information and data in a way that is easy to understand and engage with. They consist of data, the visual form, and the narrative component. By combining these elements effectively, data stories can drive behavioral change and lead to a call to action. In two projects dedicated to data stories, we developed an approach that separates the data from possible narratives and adapts it to three audiences of different expertise and age, being inspired by the medieval philosopher Averroes. The method can help to take full advantage of data storytelling and describe complex data in a meaningful way that compels people to act on it.
