- Air Quality (AQI/PM2.5): Real-world exposure trumps policy intent. Example: Winter AQI stays in “poor/severe” despite measures → low score; sustained improvement → higher score.
- Forest Cover & Tree Outside Forests: More green cover cools cities and protects water. Example: Urban Miyawaki forests reduce heat islands.
- Renewable Energy Share: Solar/wind adoption cleans the grid. Example: Rooftop solar + net metering bring 20% of city’s day demand from renewables.
- Waste Processing & Landfill Remediation: Segregation + compost + WtE reduce dump fires. Example: Legacy waste biomining clears 30% of an old landfill.
- Water Body Rejuvenation: Lakes/tanks act as city lungs and flood sponges. Example: Restored lake raises groundwater and cuts local flooding.
- Industrial & Construction Compliance: Enforcement (stack monitoring, C&D dust rules) matters. Example: Fines + closures for non-compliant units drop PM spikes.
- Climate Resilience (heat/flood plans): Early warnings and shelters save lives. Example: Heat-action plan opens cooling centers during alerts.
