Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 1 | Los Angeles is home to the #1 incubator for clean tech in the world - the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI). The City receives the 2nd highest amount of clean tech investment in California. In August 2016, the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator won a $5 million grant from the California Energy Commission to establish a regional energy innovation cluster. The cluster will support the region’s clean energy entrepreneurs by connecting them with critical business and technical services needed to bring their ideas to market. Additionally, through a $70 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, a Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute will be created in Los Angeles. The institute will be run by UCLA and will help spur advances in smart sensors and digital process controls to improve the efficiency of advanced manufacturing. It is expected to bring $240 million in public-private investment to the city of Los Angeles. | |||

Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 2 | In December 2016, the City Council adopted the Existing Building Energy and Water Efficiency ordinance, the nation’s most comprehensive energy and water efficiency law for existing buildings. Under this new ordinance, all buildings larger than 7,500 square feet, must benchmark and publish their annual energy and water consumption levels. This action will help spur innovation and economic opportunity in energy efficiency and will assist Los Angeles in its goal of using energy efficiency to deliver 15% of all projected electricity needs by 2020. | |||

In 2021, LA Metro, the regional transportation agency, completed the full electrification of one of its BRT lines, the G Line, which runs through the City of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley. Measure M was passed in late 2016 which creates a half-cent sales tax to raise $120 billion for transportation improvements over the next 40 years. Implementation of the resulting Los Angeles County Traffic Improvement Plan will fund 38 major transportation projects, including digging out a transit tunnel under the Sepulveda Pass, extending the foothill Gold Line to Claremont, finishing the Purple (D) Line subway to Westwood and the Crenshaw Line to LAX, running a new light rail from Artesia to Union Station and improving the Orange (G) Line Bus Rapid Transit in the San Fernando Valley. Measure M also provides new resources for fixing potholes, building bikeways and upgrading L.A. Metro and Metrolink operations and maintenance. Taken together, these projects are expected to reduce traffic delay by 15% while creating 465,000 jobs in the region. | |||

Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 4 | The state of California has a well functioning cap and trade market bringing in revenue to the state through the auction of emission allowances. LA has been awarded nearly $200 million in funding for projects related to affordable housing and transit oriented development, tree planting, electric vehicles, and more since the program's inception in 2012. | |||
| 135857 | 10894 | City of Los Angeles | United States of America | North America | 6. Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 5 | In March 2016, With Love Market and Cafe opened its doors in South LA. It is a social enterprise focused on community investment through quality food access, job opportunities, and social services such as cooking classes, internships, exercise clubs, and more. Through partnerships with many local non-profits, churches, governmental agencies and schools, With Love is able to offer all if these social services at no cost to the local community, providing a match between the resources of these groups and the community's need. COMPRA Foods was developed through a partnership between the Leadership for Urban Renewal Network (LURN) and the Los Angeles Food Policy Council. It serves as an alternative food distribution system for small grocers and convenience stores in “food desert” neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Through this program, tens of thousands of residents in low-income communities like South Los Angeles and MacArthur Park now have access to affordable produce and healthy foods. COMPRA is expanding to the Southeast cities of L.A. County including South Gate. Future goals include making COMPRA a self-sustaining program while growing its workforce and network. The Los Angeles Food Policy Council’s Healthy Neighborhood Market Network (HNMN) builds the capacity of neighborhood small market owners in underserved communities to operate as healthy food retailers. Best Market recently underwent a renovation to become Skid Row People’s Market, now stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables. The transformation was led by the second-generation store owner, whose family has owned and operated the market as a convenience store for 24 years. HNMN has teamed up with Gensler Architecture firm and Build Group Construction to complete the next transformation project, Lupita’s Market in the Westlake neighborhood, which will reopen this summer to offer healthier food options. | |||

Through the State’s Transformative Climate Communities grant program, three L.A. neighborhoods – Watts, Pacoima-Sun Valley, and South L.A. – are channeling local knowledge and experience into solving local problems. After receiving awards totaling over $55 million by the State and leveraging over $200 million from the City and partners, each community is building upon decades of grassroots organizing and engagement to support the priorities of their residents and deliver meaningful change. In addition to the exciting projects around clean energy and urban greening, each project will incorporate workforce development plans that include training in a number of sectors – renewable energy technologies, low carbon transportation technologies, energy efficiency, waste diversion, healthy soils – and fight back against displacement. These community-driven projects protect our planet while ensuring our vibrant neighborhoods are safe, clean, and resilient for generations to come. The entire grant application process and now, implementation process moving forward, call for the creation of strong partnerships between city departments, community groups, and nonprofits. In addition, LA also received the State's Sustainable Transportation Equity Project grant ($7 Million), which will allow the City to partner with South LA community groups to expand sustainable transportation opportunities into the neighborhood. | |||

The study was launched after Mayor Garcetti worked with City Council to adopt a motion directing LADWP to undertake the study and establish a working group including academics, policy makers, and technical advisers. LADWP has brought in the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to conduct an economic and reliability analysis of options for reaching a 100% renewable energy supply. The 100% renewable energy study is the first of its kind for an electric grid as large and comprehensive as L.A.’s power system. | |||
