The California Climate Data and Reporting that provides a concise and easy-to-use overview of some of the major California climate reporting and data. The dashboard aims to direct readers to the most pertinent reports and data on California’s climate published by the state regulators and watchdogs. By compiling and regularly updating information on certain key data and reports, the dashboard provides both casual readers and researchers with straightforward access to the full scope of California’s climate progress. The dashboard offers links to full reports where available as well as to less aggregate data such as meetings and testimony for readers who want more detailed information on these efforts.
California Climate Data and Reporting is relatively unique among dashboards as it focuses on consolidating data and reporting. There are several climate policy dashboards available online focusing on law and policy. Berkeley’s California Climate Policy Dashboard is one. Others include the Climate Policy Initiative’s California Carbon Dashboard and the UCLA and UC Berkeley’s California Climate Solutions Dashboard. UC Berkeley and UCLA legal faculty also regularly participate in legal discussions related to climate at Legal Planet. These dashboards provide information on climate policies and programs at the state and local levels, including emissions reduction goals, energy efficiency programs, and renewable energy targets. They can be useful tools for policymakers, researchers, and members of the public who are interested in tracking progress on climate action.
