A Vision for the Future: LA County Releases Draft Sustainability Plan

The Los Angeles County Chief Sustainability Office (CSO) has released the draft 2025 OurCounty Sustainability Plan. Building on the original 2019 Plan, this update reflects the voices of thousands of residents and other stakeholders who participated through community workshops, individual meetings, and a countywide survey. The draft Plan advances ambitious goals around climate resilience, equity, biodiversity, housing, and more — grounded in what communities across the County said matters most.

OurCounty outlines what local governments and partners can do to enhance the well-being of every community in the County while reducing damage to the natural environment and adapting to the changing climate, particularly focusing on those communities that have been disproportionately burdened by environmental pollution. This plan envisions streets and parks that are accessible, safe, and welcoming to everyone; air, water, and soil that are clean and healthy; affordable housing that enables all residents to thrive in place; climate ready communities that are informed and prepared with infrastructure that supports them today and in a changing climate; and a just economy that runs on renewable energy instead of fossil fuels.

The public is invited to review and comment on the draft Plan now through Friday, August 22. To help stakeholders better understand the Plan’s content and how to engage, the CSO will host a public webinar on Thursday, August 7 at 10:00 a.m. (register here).
