The State Climate Policy Dashboard is an information hub on the Climate XChange website that establishes a framework for state climate policy. It also tracks the status of and provides educational resources for each policy. It is comprised of two components: the State Climate Policy Tracker and the State Climate Policy Resource Hub.
The State Climate Policy Tracker tracks the passage of climate mitigation and adaptation policies across all 50 states. Each state has its own page on the tracker with an identical policy framework and provides information on which policies within the framework have passed in that state.
The Resource Hub is an educational counterpart to the state policy tracker. It has information on each of the policies included in the State Climate Policy Tracker, grouped into seven policy areas:
- Climate Governance and Equity
- Adaptation and Resilience
- Electricity
- Buildings and Efficiency
- Transportation
- Agriculture
- Industry, Materials, and Waste Management
You can navigate between the policy areas and jump to individual policies on each page to learn more about them. Each policy has an explanation, resource links, and model state examples.
