TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Canada is home to more than 600 First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities, which represent more than 50 Nations and 50 Indigenous languages. We recognize and acknowledge the long and lasting traditions and spiritual connections of all Indigenous communities including the Attawandaron, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee who were the first stewards of the land where we work and live, and we commit to active reconciliation by promoting awareness and education.

Hands down, OWID is the single best data source on the Internet for population growth, global health, education, energy, climate change, poverty and measuring progress towards the SDGs. For educators and learners, the advantages are two-fold: their maps and graphs are outstanding in scale, breadth and depth; and each topic includes clear explanations that replace any need for textbooks or Wikipedia. Just type a word into their search and away you go! Most importantly, OWID is entirely credible, academically sound, and is not commercial. OWID is a clearly a GeoEssential!
