📰 What Happened: The L.A. County Board of Supervisors approved an ambitious update to its OurCounty Sustainability Plan. The new roadmap integrates community input, six years of progress, and fresh climate data into a coordinated effort to create greener, more resilient communities.

🔍 A Closer Look: The 2025 Plan adds wildfire management, Tribal partnerships, ocean systems, green jobs, and materials circularity initiatives. It builds on progress since 2019—cutting County emissions by 40%, creating parkland, expanding EV infrastructure, and investing nearly $1B in stormwater capture—while targeting long-term goals such as affordable housing, clean air, and climate-ready neighborhoods.

🧠 Why It Matters: With climate threats escalating, L.A.’s new strategy shows how local governments can lead sustainability efforts at scale. By aligning environmental, economic, and equity goals under one framework, the County is a model for regional climate action—and a magnet for green investment and innovation.
