The CoolClimate Network at UC Berkeley is developing a data platform for GHG inventories and climate action metrics for local governments across California. The project was presented at CCEC 2024 to gather input from participants. In this year’s session, the team will demo the live beta version. The outputs available to cities include traditional and consumption based inventories from 2010-2022. They also feature tangible metrics such as EV registrations with the DMV and heat pumps installed through TECH incentives. These detailed metrics can enable local governments to set concrete targets and tell compelling stories about climate action, benefits, and potential impacts in their communities. Participants will practice applying concepts of effective storytelling from a UC Berkeley School of Journalism fellow as they explore the data available in the tool.
