Over the past decade, paleBLUEdot has worked with more than 95 local governments on climate planning, sustainability, renewable energy, greenhouse gas reduction, and related community initiatives. Through that work, we have seen how much time, effort, and collaboration communities invest in developing thoughtful plans for the future.

We have also seen what happens after those plans are adopted.

Communities want residents, elected officials, staff, and community partners to understand what has been accomplished, how conditions are changing, and what work still lies ahead. Many would like to use a public dashboard to make that progress visible and transparent but find barriers to making this a reality.

Creating and Maintaining a Progress Dashboard is Often Harder Than it Sounds.

Progress information may be spread across departments, spreadsheets, greenhouse gas inventories, annual reports, meeting materials, and webpages. Bringing it all together can require substantial staff time—especially when existing dashboard platforms are expensive, technically complex, and designed for organizations with large climate and sustainability teams.

Those experiences led us to develop ACTIONtracker.

ACTIONtracker is a public progress-dashboard platform designed to help communities turn information they already collect into a clear, accessible story. Our dashboard brings together:

Goals, baselines, targets, and current values
Metric and measurement trends
Action implementation status
Achievements, challenges, and next steps
Actions residents and organizations can take
Supportive resources and additional information

ACTIONtracker public dashboard showing climate goals, emissions trends, action progress, sector dashboards, and equity information.

Our dashboard can be embedded directly into an agency’s existing website or shared as a standalone webpage. Its structured reporting process helps communities provide clear, consistent updates from year to year with minimal investment of staff time.

ACTIONtracker is designed specifically for climate and sustainability plans, drawing directly from our extensive experience helping communities develop and implement those plans. It can also be adapted for comprehensive plans, resilience plans, renewable energy initiatives, and other community strategic plans.

Communities can choose a service level that matches their staffing capacity—from a lower-cost, hands-on option to full-service setup and reporting support from paleBLUEdot. ACTIONtracker offers annual pricing based on community size and the level of support selected. Its affordable, flexible, and easy-to-use platform is designed for sustainability teams of any size—from one-person offices to larger departments.

We believe a community plan should be a living document, not adopted and placed on a shelf. Our dashboard can help your plan remain visible, useful, and connected to the people it is intended to serve.

ACTIONtracker makes it easier to show how community commitments are becoming measurable progress—while giving residents practical ways to participate.
