About Chart Timelapse

Chart Timelapse makes short animated charts from public data: the World Bank, Our World in Data, Ember, Global Forest Watch and companies’ own SEC filings.

Each chart here uses the same data as its Short, as published by the source. Nothing is estimated or filled in on these pages; years without a figure are left as gaps. Every page names its source and links to it, and the data licences (mostly CC BY 4.0, SEC filings are public domain) apply to the numbers.

Spotted something that looks wrong? Leave a comment on the Short and we’ll check it against the source.
