ICLEI USA’s Equity: First Steps Guide (Equity: First Steps) introduces local governments to equity by helping them identify and track inequities that occur within their community. The guide provides local governments with a starting point for tracking inequities in five distinct categories. These categories are:
● Energy Access
● Public Health
● Infrastructure
● Economic Prosperity
● Education
At a minimum, these are the areas in which communities must analyze inequities. Throughout Equity: First Steps, you can find links to a selection of tools and resources to collect data on equity indicators in each of the categories. Data collected through the Equity: First Steps process can be used as an entry point for engaging community
members, and community engagement can help fill in data analysis gaps.
