Updated Climate and Policy Data and Design Notes

[klongleywood]

Thanks for your patience as I got this information together! Here are some notes on the climate and policy tool. I'm attaching an updated table and ppt slides to support.

1. FREL’s don’t warrant their own widget. Move this information to the “International Status” panel
2. Add NDC Blurb, Climate Vulnerability Index, and Policies Relevant to Mangroves to International Status panel (Columns L, M, and Policies Tab)
3. Under emissions, we don’t have the data to describe whether mangroves are included in GHG inventories, so take this out. Instead, on this slide, can we show the mitigation opportunity from mangroves (Columns AE and AF) against the land use emissions by category (LULC Emissions Category Tab) as a stacked bar chart or similar? The only issue is that the mangrove opportunity will almost always be tiny. We may want to play around with the idea of correcting for the % land area that the mangrove covers to try to better illustrate that opportunity. Does Vizzuality have access to land cover totals by country? If not, I can try to track this down but wondered if you had it for Global Forest Watch or similar? Maybe we can discuss options on Friday.
4. Note new slide on investible blue carbon and suggested chart (prefer a donut type chart like in GMW rather than pi chart shown here)

New table is here

New mock up is here

Issue: no visible layers on the map when the Climate Policy dashboard is opened. Solution: switch on the Mangrove Blue Carbon layer when the “Climate & Policy” dashboard is opened

This changes the logic of the rest of the widgets and might be misleading. I think the behaviour you are looking for is something similar to restoration, but it's not the same because, on the Restoration, we created a widget with many widgets. We could eventually do this with Policy and Climate, but not now.

Changes on the Widget 1 Investible Blue Carbon done.

@klongleywood , @klongleywood please, check the Emissions Mitigation color palette proposed. I'm not sure if we'd like to have all the non-mangroves similar tone (like different greens but all of them green)

Notes from the meeting: Mangroves in green and other in orange-purple. Less "pastel".

On the international status widget, there are a few issues:

• The following change specified above has not been implemented: If a country hasn’t implemented the wetlands supplement, say that “There is no information as to whether this country has implemented the wetlands supplement”

• Another change that hasn't been implemented yet is the following: For countries where it specified, We need to specify whether the NDC pledge is for mitigation, adaptation, or both, where applicable -- this is in the spreadsheet columns P&Q. So, for example, for Brunei, the text should read "Brunei's updated NDC pledge includes coastal and marine NBS for mitigation and adaption" If it yes for one and no for another it should say "....includes coastal and marine NBS for mitigation but not adaptation". If there is no data leave this sentence out.

• The units should be MtCO2/yr (not just small t -- sorry, just noticed this one)

• I posted in the other thread about updated info button language for this, and the carbon market potential widget

• The carbon market potential is currently showing at the global level -- it should not be visible globally, only for countries where there are data.

@klongleywood changes ready in staging. Let us know if you want us to deploy to production and we'll do it asap.

Almost ready, but still a few issues.

• Thanks for adding the additional information about adaptation/mitigation. There is an apostrophe that shows up at the end of the sentence (see Angola for example). Can you remove that?
• The units for the second sentence are still incorrect. Should be MtCO2e/yr

-In the Carbon market potential, I don't think the values of the donut are reflecting the correct values for the Additional Investible Blue carbon at $10/ton. As specified in the table I sent, these should be pulling from Column I because it reflects the additional value from carbon at $10/ton. This is different than the text about Blue Carbon at $10/ton which pulls from Column G (this is currently correct).

Both widgets have been updated, let me know if you want me to show "International Status" in prod @klongleywood

[klongleywood]

@mluena thank you! Feel free to push to prod

[dhakelila]

Emissions widget ready for your revision on staging.

[mluena]

Amendments for international status widget ready in staging, we are looking into carbon market
