How can countries make better decisions when census data is incomplete or outdated?

At the 2026 Global Data Festival in Nairobi, WorldPop showcased how AI, geospatial mapping and population intelligence are helping governments improve census operations, vaccination planning, climate resilience and official statistics.

Vanishing Research Data

Announced early in 2025

Utterly foreseeable

The reason why and what to expect next : https://www.project2025.observer

All research institutions have an urgent need of a strong and resilient Data Policy (not only in climate science).

(Oh yes, and a Software Policy too)

We'll try for a third time. This has been archived 2X already. This time I just removed all caching capability and basically rewrote the whole package for a major release that breaks backward capability but simplifies using it. Now it only has two single functions, one creates a data.table the other a {terra} SpatRaster of the CRU CL 2.0 climate data either by download or from local files.

Day 76. Land Surface Temperature 🌡️

This build uses monthly land-surface-temperature textures and blends them so the yearly cycle flows smoothly. The UI stays simple, month label plus click-to-pause playback, while Three.js/WebGL and custom shaders keep the scene map-like and readable.
