Our mission

Poverty, disease, hunger, climate change, war, existential risks, and inequality: the world faces many great and terrifying problems. It is these large problems that our work at Our World in Data focuses on. Thanks to the work of thousands of researchers around the world who dedicate their lives to it,

we often have a good understanding of how it is possible to make progress against the large problems we are facing. The world has the resources to do much better and reduce suffering. We believe that a key reason why we fail to achieve the progress we are capable of is that we do not make enough use of this existing research and data: the important knowledge is often stored in inaccessible databases, locked away behind paywalls, and buried under jargon in academic papers. The goal of our work is to make this knowledge accessible and understandable to empower those working to build a better world. As we say on our
climate world data understanding progress better achieve research knowledge jargon academic goal empower build
