Data visualization of UN financial expenditure/revenue
As a Computer Science and International Relations double-major, I am interested in ways these fields intersect. This project will show how United Nations is structured, where it is getting funding from ,and where the money is being used. This will be an important visualization for the discussion of the future role of intergovernmental organizations in world politics.
In this project, users will be able to
- look at UN organization tree
- see animation for donation by country by years
- see expenditure by agency
- see expenditure by country
- total expenditure by category
In addition, this project will include,
- logo of subparts of UN
The app will consist of a 3 different section a user can naviagte to. The upper right corner will have icons that will show my GitHub and LinkedIn profile.
This project will be implemented with the following technologies:
- Vanilla JavaScript for overall structure
- D3 for map and bubble chart
- Webpack to bundle and serve up the various scripts.
