Mapping Climate Change News Sentiment

This project was built by Annie, Thienthanh, and Sarah for the WiD 2023 Datathon. The Climate Risk Viewer is a tool built by the Forest Service to spacially identify climate-related risks. Our Streamlit-based application is an innovative take on the Climate Risk Viewer that maps climate risk by identifying climate change related news articles by geographic location. In the application, a heatmap shows the quantity of climate change related articles with a negative sentiment. This tool allows users to view climate-related disasters and vulnerabilities using real-time news data.
