Project: Strategic Climate Data Narrative – Thailand's Path to 1.5°C

Role: Data Visualization (Power BI) & Policy Narrative Strategist

Tools Used: Power BI, DAX

The Objective

To analyze Thailand’s carbon emissions and develop a data-driven presentation advocating for systemic policy changes to keep global warming below the critical 1.5°C boundary. The final deliverable was designed as a persuasive tool for stakeholders to support the implementation of the proposed Thailand Climate Change Act.

The Challenge and My Approach

During the initial phases, our team struggled to align on a unified topic and narrative. I took the initiative to research regional climate policies and successfully steered the group toward a high-impact, localized issue: Thailand's carbon expenditure and the legislative action required to fix it.

I was responsible for bridging the gap between raw climate datasets and the policy recommendations by developing the core analytical visuals in Power BI.

Key Contributions & Technical Execution

1. Data Visualization & Trend Analysis (Slides 4-7)

I designed and developed the foundational dashboards to establish the urgency of the climate crisis in Thailand:

• Rising Heat Signatures: Created comparative visualizations tracking Thailand's annual greenhouse gas temperature change relative to the global baseline.

Since both global and local temperature metrics existed within a single column, I utilized the CALCULATE function to branch the data. I created distinct measures using AVERAGE with an ALL filter for the global baseline, and a specific SUM filter for Thailand to enable a side-by-side visual comparison .

• View DAX Code

• Isolating the Primary Driver: Visualized the cumulative temperature contribution by greenhouse gas, clearly identifying CO2 as the primary driver of the country's temperature increase.

Utilized clean line charting and targeted color contrast to draw immediate attention to the CO2 spike
