Our World in Data

Ask about the state of the world and get answers grounded in Our World in Data's published research: the numbers come straight from the data behind its charts, the organisation that produced them is named, and you get a link to the chart to check it yourself.

Our World in Data covers poverty, health, population, energy, climate, food, education, democracy, war and more, for most countries in the world and often over decades or centuries.

Use it to:

• find the right chart or article on a topic
• get the actual figures behind a chart, for the countries and years you need
• check a number or a claim against the data
• understand what a chart measures, and where its data comes from
• embed a chart in a web page, or get an image of it for a slide

It only uses what Our World in Data has published, from public pages on ourworldindata.org, so it can't answer questions its data doesn't cover. No account needed. Most of the data comes from other organisations, such as the UN and the World Bank; the plugin credits them, and their licences apply when you republish.
