Established in 2007, the Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action and Sustainability (LARC) is a network of local governments, regional agencies, non-profit organizations, businesses, utilities, and academics working together to advance climate mitigation and adaptation efforts in the Los Angeles region.
Recognizing the need for cross-jurisdictional collaboration within the large and diverse LA County region, LARC coordinates climate resiliency efforts with land use, transportation, infrastructure, energy, water, public health, emergency response, and resource management partners.
LARC serves as a convening body to support collaboration between local jurisdictions to coordinate regional climate action and adaptation efforts, maximize limited resources, and optimize outcomes for the LA region as a whole. This is accomplished through a series of established meetings that encourage peer-to-peer knowledge transfer amongst climate planners and practitioners.
Housed at UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, LARC receives logistical support from the UCLA IoES and is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. LARC's work is advised by a Leadership Council and driven by cutting-edge, locally-relevant research.
