If we were giving Southern California a grade, it would be earning a "C" in the six index ratings above. Seems pretty average, right?
Compare ratings between and within cities to see how inequality and the built environment impact these ratings.
Compare cities to see how many places have strong climate resilience and healthy places profiles while having poor biodiversity, watershed health, and air quality rankings.
These ratings are an artifact of decades of dominating the earth rather than partnering with it, and dominating each other in the process.
Everyone can be part of changing these outcomes by putting community and climate at the forefront of every decision at every level in every sector, starting today.
