California has long played an international role as an incubator of innovation. From the integrated circuit to web 2.0, recombinant DNA to genomics, world changing ideas and inventions have their genesis in this state. Lesser known, however, is California’s role in clean technology innovation and the impact of that innovation on the state’s economic and environmental health. 

Next 10 is working with leading experts and state policymakers to provide research important to growing the economy while leading the world in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Current initiatives include an annual California Green Innovation Index, a web-based carbon calculator, a carbon mapping project and additional research projects.
