The Cascadia Scorecard project

How the Pacific Northwest stacks up in seven key trends shaping the region, including sprawl, energy, pollution, economy, forests, population, and health.

Cascadia Scorecard 2007 Cover 125w**The 2007 Scorecard is out! Go here to buy a book, and here to see a full press kit.

Launched in 2004, the Cascadia Scorecard is Sightline Institute's index of sustainability for the Northwest. Developed by Sightline's research team, the Scorecard tracks the region's performance on trends critical to the region's future--and estimates how many years the region is from reaching a real-world model for each indicator.

The Scorecard is updated in an annualĀ book, and throughout the year in reports on individual indicators. We also have extraordinary graphics from the Scorecard for you to download and use.
