The Mayor’s Climate Implementation Plan & Vision
Building on decades of progress as a global climate leader, the City is setting a clear path to reach carbon neutrality by 2045 while investing in our community resilience. Los Angeles is driving climate action by centering equity and economic growth in this implementation strategy, serving as a global model, and focusing on near-term actions over the next decade to keep us on the path to carbon neutrality. Mayor Bass’ vision is for a resilient, climate-safe Los Angeles where every Angeleno can thrive. This vision balances immediate improvements to daily life in Los Angeles with our responsibility as a global city to combat climate change. Los Angeles has been a global climate leader for decades, achieving major milestones, from cleaner air to becoming a coal-free city. Still, as climate change intensifies extreme heat, wildfires, drought, and flooding, there is more work to do, both to curb emissions and to prepare Angelenos to cope with and adapt to these changes.
