What the user will see

• Focus on countries that will be affected the most by climate change

• More information on what is causing climate change

• put data into perspective, so user can capture information more quickly

• How we can help ? - provide examples

• Display the appropriate info of each country -We can get creative here depending how we want to display the information using graphics -Use p5 and other libraries to display animations based on api data -clickable -Try to make the use interact with whatever graphic we display -animation can move base on movement of the user
