IEEE VIS, November TBD
Location TBD

The need to understand, mitigate, and adapt to climate change and its resulting problems is greater than ever. We need immediate, actionable solutions to mitigate the consequences and adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change. Solutions can take many forms, ranging from understanding key factors in climate modeling to monitoring forests and species distributions to deciding how to model a sustainable energy or transportation grid. While the use of AI to tackle these problems has long been recognized, visualization has largely been disregarded, despite its long-proven value in fa- cilitating the understanding of complex data. This workshop aims to elevate the role of visualization in combating climate change, especially for improving science communication and facilitating decision-making. The workshop recognizes the importance of in- terdisciplinary collaboration that is necessary to produce useful and actionable results. Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to bring together multidisciplinary teams of visualization researchers, ex- perts working in climate-relevant domains, and policymakers, and build a community for interdisciplinary exchange.
