Our commitment
Geo Horizon publishes research that is meant to be read and used. This site should work for anyone who wants to read it, including people using a screen reader, keyboard-only navigation, magnification, or a browser with their own colors and font sizes applied.
Copy slot — confirm the organizational commitment wording with counsel before publication.
Standard we work to
We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. Where a page falls short of that standard, it is listed under known limitations below with a date by which we expect to fix it.
What we have done
- Text and interface elements meet the AA contrast thresholds, measured rather than estimated.
- Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus outline that is never removed.
- Headings, landmarks and lists carry real semantics, so a screen reader can navigate the structure of a page.
- Images that carry meaning have text alternatives; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- Motion is limited to short fades and small movements, and respects a reduced-motion preference.
- Pages reflow to a single column without loss of content at 320px and at 400% zoom.
Known limitations
List each known issue, who it affects, and the date we expect it fixed.
| Issue | Status and date |
|---|---|
| Limitation slot — e.g. some PDF publications published before 2026 are not tagged for screen readers. | Being remediated. Accessible versions on request. |
| Limitation slot — e.g. the interactive map has no non-visual equivalent. | Text list of the same data planned, date to confirm. |
| Limitation slot — third-party embed we do not control. | Raised with the supplier, date to confirm. |

Cookies and analytics
Copy slot — state plainly which cookies this site sets, whether analytics is enabled, whether it is configured without cross-site tracking, and how a reader opts out. If the site sets no non-essential cookies, say so in one sentence and there is nothing else to add.
Who else sees it
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for advertising.

Copy slot — name them, and note any transfer outside the reader’s jurisdiction and the safeguard used.
