Climate data visualizations simplify complex climate issues but often overlook local experiences and vulnerable communities, such as small Pacific islands like Tonga. While global visualizations accurately depict broad trends, they may lack localized data crucial for representing the lived realities of those most affected by climate change. Emotional responses to these visuals can drive awareness and discussion; however, meaningful climate action is more likely when individuals feel empowered to act at local or national levels. Effective climate communication must ensure diverse representation and foster both concern and agency, making visible not only the scale of the crisis but also the people behind the numbers.
