Climate change is a global issue that requires local action, and the City of Los Angeles is taking aggressive measures to combat further climate impacts. LA Sanitation & Environment (LASAN), recognized as a national leader in environmental services and programs, is a critical partner in the City’s climate response and in advancing the path towards the City’s climate goals.

Achieving our climate goals will be a significant challenge. There is no simple solution. LASAN is committed to proactively addressing climate change and supporting climate action in line with our mission to protect public health and the environment.

Building on nearly a decade of experience, LASAN’s Climate Action Program supports the City’s path towards carbon neutrality as outlined by the Sustainable City pLAn. Housed within the Regulatory Affairs Division of LASAN, this program collaborates with City departments, policymakers, and outside agencies on climate-related reports and activities.

GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) INVENTORIES

The Climate Action Program prepares Carbon inventories on an annual basis to quantify the amount of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) released from municipal operations and community activity, and publishes the inventories and related materials here. These inventories are an important component in understanding Los Angeles' GHG emissions and sources and in tracking the City's progress towards reaching its own carbon neutrality goals.Climate change is a global issue that requires local action, and the City of Los Angeles is taking aggressive measures to combat further climate impacts.
