The California Doughnut

A snapshot of where California stands.

Twelve dimensions of the social foundation. Nine planetary boundaries that make up the ecological ceiling. Read the Doughnut across both at once. The state is meeting some needs and falling badly short on others. It is staying within some ecological limits and overshooting others by a wide margin.

All 21 dimensions.
