About
Why UNEVEN?
Global change is never felt the same everywhere. This magazine maps where it lands.
Every big transition has a map
Energy, water, climate: we talk about them as global stories. But their costs and benefits land in very specific places. A lithium mine in the Atacama. A dry river in Murcia. A heat wave in a city without trees.
Look at enough maps and the same pattern appears again and again: the people who pay are rarely the people who decide. UNEVEN exists to make that pattern visible.
Why now
- The energy transition is building new mines, supply chains and trade rules. Who profits is decided in this decade.
- The climate crisis hits hardest where emissions were lowest, and money for adaptation is scarce.
- Water: droughts and floods are becoming more extreme, and so are the conflicts over who gets water.
How it works
- Original maps. Every issue includes its own GIS analysis built from open data.
- Research, not opinion alone. Peer-reviewed studies and official statistics. Every number has a source.
- Free to read. Every essay is published in full on this site.

I started UNEVEN to make maps and research on global inequality readable for everyone, not just for academics. Want to collaborate? Get in touch.
