Accessibility

The site aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 ↗, level AA.

• Every page type is tested automatically on each change with axe-core, in the dark and the light theme, on a desktop and a phone screen. A change with a serious or critical finding cannot be merged.
• Keyboard use, visible focus and target sizes are part of the same tests.
• Automated tests find only some barriers. The site has not been audited by an independent expert or tested with users of assistive technology.

• Every map and chart has the same information as text or as a table next to it.
• Nothing is told by colour alone: marks differ by shape and size, and every value is written out.
• Motion stops when your system asks for reduced motion.
• Pages work without JavaScript wherever they show figures; forms are ordinary forms.
• The site follows your light or dark setting and can be switched by hand.

• The 3D globe is a picture drawn by the graphics card and cannot be read by a screen reader or explored with the keyboard alone. Everything on it is also in the lists and tables beside it, and a flat map replaces it where the device has no graphics acceleration.
• Wide tables scroll sideways on small screens. They can be scrolled with the keyboard.
• Source documents on other websites (reports, PDF files) are outside this site's control and may not be accessible.
• The site is in English only.
