About Next 10

Next 10 is focused on inno­va­tion and the inter­sec­tion between the econ­omy, the envi­ron­ment, and qual­ity of life issues for all Cal­i­for­ni­ans. Our work is divided into a few key areas: expert-​​commissioned research, civic engage­ment tools and events, and stake­holder con­ven­ings. Our most recently pub­lished report, the ninth annual Cal­i­for­nia Green Inno­va­tion Index, high­lighted the grow­ing chal­lenge CA faces as a result of increas­ing trans­porta­tion emis­sions in the state.
