Los Angeles County is updating its Sustainability Plan to refine its vision for climate action, environmental justice, and community well-being, with residents encouraged to participate by taking the OurCounty 2025 Update Community Survey.
Los Angeles County is in the process of updating the OurCounty Sustainability Plan, adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2019, to ensure it continues to guide the region toward a more sustainable and resilient future. Led by the Chief Sustainability Office (CSO), this update seeks to refine and strengthen policies addressing climate change, environmental justice, and community well-being. Residents are encouraged to participate by providing input through the OurCounty 2025 Update Community Survey, which will help inform the plan’s priorities and actions moving forward.
The OurCounty Plan includes 159 actions designed to achieve 12 broad sustainability goals over the next two decades. Since its adoption, nearly half of these actions have been completed or are on track, with 83 percent of the 78 Priority Actions either achieved or progressing as planned. The OurCounty 2024 Annual Report offers a comprehensive look at accomplishments and ongoing work, highlighting the County’s commitment to sustainability.
To stay engaged and informed, residents are encouraged to take the Community Survey, subscribe to updates, and follow @CSO_LACo on social media. By participating, community members can help shape a plan that reflects the needs and aspirations of Los Angeles County’s diverse population.
