Trusted by local governments:

Our objective to create our Dashboard was to better communicate progress towards our goals to the general public. We have found that it is valuable for internal engagement and communications as well.

On more than one occasion, we have been able to quickly respond to requests from City Councilors or staff from other departments regarding our progress toward goals by simply accessing our sustainability dashboard site. It’s especially helpful as the dashboard takes complicated data sets, stored in files that cannot be remotely accessed, and synthesizes them into an easy to understand story supported by data visualization.

This makes it easy for us to quickly find answers and share the site with others, ensuring everyone has access to the most up-to-date information anytime they need it.
Bronwyn Cooke
Sustainability Planner, City of Cambridge, MA
Our dashboard provides residents, staff, and volunteers with a visual representation of our plans and goals.

It helps to facilitate conversations related to the Town’s sustainability initiatives, including carbon emission reduction, water conservation, and building electrification. By visualizing our focus areas and goals, the dashboard fosters meaningful conversations about environmental action, helping our community stay informed and engaged in local efforts. 

Whether exploring data or collaborating on solutions, this tool empowers stakeholders to contribute to a greener, more resilient Atherton.
Anthony Suber
Deputy City Manager, Town of Atherton, CA
Working with Kim and her team has been so easy. They are experts in both Climate Action Planning and web design. The matchup is perfect when it comes to the development of our dashboard. I don’t have to explain our data or emissions reduction goals – KLA just knows! We’re really excited to see what the KLA team comes up with for our dashboard!
