The LA Collaborative seeks to establish a nimble network that will be positioned to provide essential guidance and system-wide coordination to meet our evolving climate action and sustainability goals.

The Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action & Sustainability recognizes that there is a profound need for cross-jurisdictional collaboration to not only mitigate, but effectively adapt to these climactic threats. Public agencies, the business community, academia, labor, and environmental and community groups can work cooperatively to:

• In order to comply with AB 32, establish a regional inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and develop an action plan to efficiently and effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Establish and implement an action plan to efficiently and effectively reduce greenhouse gas emission levels on a regional level.
• Achieve cost savings for partnering agencies through regional education forums, tools and trainings, and green procurement pools.
• Share information and best practices on climate change and sustainability goals.
• Develop a consistent communication plan for informing stakeholders in the Los Angeles region of the urgency in addressing global climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• Leverage State and Federal resources, including energy block grants, to pursue greenhouse gas reduction strategies.
