Climate warming in Europe
How is climate change affecting...your city?
This dataset is the product of a data analysis on temperature change in Europe between the 1960s and the 2010s, municipality by municipality, using high spatial resolution Copernicus data.
European railways and trains
As travel by train is becoming more and more popular in Europe – also for environmental reasons – we decided to look at some of the main barriers discouraging people from taking the train. We created a list of all the active passenger train stations in 16 European countries (based on the quality of available data) and calculated how far citizens live from them, down to a regional level. We also looked at train prices and travel times, respectively relating them to the median wage and to travel times by car.
The large collaborative investigation on the European railways and trains was coordinated by Journalism++, which took care of data mining and analyses. Several other EDJNet partner contributed to it.
Europe 1° Warmer
An analysis of over 100 million meteorological data points, from 118 years of weatherdata, shows that every major city in Europe is warmer in the 21st century than it was in the 20th, with the average city being 1°C warmer compared to last century.
