The Los Angeles Green New Deal, or LA Green New Deal, is the municipal Green New Deal of Los Angeles, California. Announced in 2019 by Mayor Eric Garcetti, the Los Angeles Green New Deal aims to create green jobs, slash emissions, invest in public transportation, and mitigate climate change.[1] Garcetti introduced the plan with the three Es: the environment, the economy, and equity.[2]
Overview
The program includes 13 distinct topic areas: environmental justice, renewable energy, local water, clean and healthy buildings, housing and development, mobility and public transit, zero-emission vehicles, industrial emissions and air quality monitoring, waste and resource recovery, food systems, urban ecosystems and resilience, prosperity and green jobs, and leading by example.[3] Specific goals within the topic area framework include reaching a 100% carbon-free grid by 2035, 100% zero-emission vehicles in the city by 2050, and 100% wastewater recycling by 2035.
The city established plans to hire a forest officer to oversee the planting of 90,000 trees.[4] Green job creation is a core part of the plan.[5]
Results
While proponents point to 11% reduced emissions in the first year and thousands of green jobs created as evidence of the program's success, others highlight that the outcomes are difficult to measure, and the plan is lagging behind certain targets.[6]
