UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE (UNFCCC)
Global Climate Finance Snapshot
At the December 2015 UNFCCC Paris Conference, 195 nations signed the Paris Agreement, committing to limit global warming to well below 2°C — but there was no transparent way to track climate financing. On 1 December, delegates approached Howoco with a concept sketch and an ambitious request: build a live platform to visualise climate funding within just three days. We responded with a dynamic, interactive website that displayed funding flows over time, complete with currency data, contextual links, and intuitive visual cues. The beta launched on 4 December and was demonstrated to the French delegation the very next day. Delivered under extraordinary pressure, the project’s speed, clarity, and impact left UNFCCC delegates deeply impressed.

Initial view
The site featured a horizontal timeline layout, plotting pledges of varying sizes across it. Each funding round has a hover state displaying size of the pledge and the country it came from.

Zoomed-in view
Clicking on the coloured dots zooms into the timeline and further details relating to the particular pledge is displayed in a slide-out panel from the bottom.
