Mapping the Future: High-Resolution Population Open Data Meets Global Health

The new WorldPop Global 2 dataset is now integrated into DHIS2 - delivering 100m gridded population data for smarter vaccination planning, climate resilience & outbreak prediction.

From interactive maps to custom indicators, health teams can see exactly where people live.

A population estimation workshop was held in Beirut last week with Lebanon’s Central Administration of Statistics, ministries & UN partners.

With no census since 1932 geospatial modelling can fill major data gaps to guide Lebanon's recovery & planning.

Using #WorldPop data, UNOSAT estimates ~41,000 people remain exposed to floodwaters in KP as of Aug 20, despite receding levels. Pakistan’s monsoon floods since June have caused 785 deaths & widespread damage.

🌍 How can data save lives during disasters?

WorldPop co-produced high-resolution population data for a new UN study, helping map how vulnerable groups across Latin America & the Caribbean face risks from floods, earthquakes, and more.

Smarter data = smarter disaster planning. 💡📊

One day late to start #30daymapchallenge but one of these was generated by accident today out of pgadmin @anyways so I decided to participate after all.

This is a map with randomly generated population samples. We generate one location per person across the planet. We use #worldpop and as always #openstreetmap as a mask to distribute the samples.

Three maps, one in Antwerp, Belgium (the city hosting @sotmeu next week), the other in Ha Noi, Viet Nam and the other Vancouver, Canada.
