UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge Revenue and Competitors

UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge aims to transform Los Angeles County to the first sustainable megacity though multidisciplinary team building, facilitating collaborations, producing game-changing work, and creating and fostering partnerships across sectors and in the community. The Sustainable LA Grand Challenge was developed in response to the challenges posed by the regional-specific effects of climate change, combined with an increasing urban population in Los Angeles County. UCLA research predicts a hotter Los Angeles with more frequent and dangerous heat waves, increased wildfire risk, and less snowpack to feed the region’s local water supplies. Sustainable LA aims to address these challenges by capitalizing on UCLA’s research strengths to develop a blueprint for transitioning Los Angeles County to 100% renewable energy, 100% local water, and enhanced ecosystem and human health by 2050 in a way that will secure the County’s long-term welfare and economic prosperity while preserving its cultural identity.
