The Data has been collected across 29 sustainability indicators, with metrics for both policy, based on a 4-tiered ranking system, and performance data, based on a 5-tiered ranking system. An individual city or county\u2019s policy and/or performance data may be accompanied by a URL link for users to find more information on the data collected.", "description": "

This dataset i<\/SPAN>is comprised of policy data, performance data, accompanying URL links on each data entry if available, and indicator category average data. The sheet contains data across 29 sustainability indicators, with upwards to 28,000 data entries.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Datasheet builds upon the data within previous iteration of the GRI, version 4.0, and includes updated data within the Climate Action, Health, and Urban Greening categories. The Datasheet is used to develop the Green Region Initiative Sustainability Indicators Map which will provide a visual representation of both policy and performance progress being made in cities and counties throughout the SCAG region. It provides a resource for local governments to visualize sustainability progress, explore best practices, collaborate on programs, identify areas of opportunity, and assess and target the needs of communities. The map displays a ranking system scaled from white to dark green.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Data source<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Policy Data<\/SPAN>: Developed by 2014-2015, 2015-2016, 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 CivicSpark Fellows. Primary data-collection sourced from policies or plans unique to each city or county for each indicator. Using the primary data-collection, the CivicSpark Fellows developed unique metrics for each indicator. The 2020-2021 CivicSpark Fellows did not change the metrics of any of the Policy Indicators in this update.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Performance Data<\/SPAN>: Developed by 2016-2017 CivicSpark Fellows<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Primary data-collection sourced from various providers (i.e. California, Solar Statistics, Cool California, Energy Star, LEED, etc.). Using the primary data-collection, the CivicSpark Fellows developed unique metrics for each indicator. Utilizing the Healthy Places Index, the 2020-2021 CivicSpark Fellows updated the Performance data for the Public Health Indicator. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Category Average<\/SPAN>: Developed by 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 CivicSpark Fellows<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Primary data-collection sourced from existing Policy and Performance Data developed by CivicSpark Fellows. Metrics based on a 4-tiered system. The 2020-2021 CivicSpark Fellows recalculated Category Averages for the Climate Action, Health, and Urban Greening categories.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Data year<\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/P>

Due to the Datasheet building upon previous iterations of the GRI, there are multiple data years for which the data was collected, thus limiting the validity of the current data. The following lists categorize the Policy, Performance, and Category Average data by Indicator from date of validity, beginning with the most recent. The date of validity represents the year the data was researched and updated in. A list of incomplete data is included.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>
