Historic decline in international aid  | Norad.no International aid declined by seven per cent in 2024, following many years of growth. Norwegian aid also declined last year and less aid was allocated to the poorest countries. This is shown in Norway...

We’re seeing historic cuts to development budgets — a 7% decrease in 2024, most likely a further 25(ish)% decrease this year. Happens at the same time as needs are increasing. Urgent need to rethink and refocus!

Thank you very much Noah. The points also multiply when clicking, which I implemented to reflect the complexity of the data and how they find some structure and patterns. I will dedicate some time these days to resolve the issue with the points staying behind the text.

Thank you very much

I also built this for a research project:

Hi, thanks for your comments. Here my answers:
1. Exactly, one block = one country. I will add this note in a newer version of the plot.
2. Definitely warmer and wetter weather contributes to its geographic expansion. I particularly observed this with the Oropouche virus.

Thank you Libby, I will try to be sharing plots every week.

Thank you very much

Thanks

The image is a graphical representation of pandemic- and epidemic-prone disease outbreaks around the world in 2024. It highlights that fewer countries reported public health events linked to COVID-19, while there was an increase in outbreaks of viral diseases transmitted by vectors. The diseases listed include Acute poliomyelitis, COVID-19, Influenza, Meningococcal meningitis, Monkeypox, and others such as Cholera, Dengue, Measles, MERS-CoV, and Yellow fever. The data source is the global dataset of pandemic- and epidemic-prone disease outbreaks, and the graphic was created by Juan Torres Munguía.

Hello Bluesky and #Rstats Community! 🌍
My first post ever is for #TidyTuesday! I created a waffle chart to visualize the distribution of disease outbreaks around the world in 2024.
