L.A. County receives a C from UCLA on energy and air quality in the 2017 Sustainable LA Environmental Report Card
April 27, 2017
The UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge released the 2017 Sustainable LA Environmental Report Card on Energy and Air Quality for Los Angeles County on April 27, 2017. After analyzing roughly a decade’s worth of key energy and environmental data, UCLA researchers gave a C grade for energy and air quality within Los Angeles County in the latest environmental report card.
The report card offers an in-depth look at the region’s sustainability efforts, focusing on the energy we use, greenhouse gas emissions, and the air we breathe. Combining extensive research data from a range of university departments, the Sustainable LA Grand Challenge brings attention to the energy and air quality progress made when the report was released in 2015 and identifies areas for improvement. The report card assessed five categories: stationary energy use, transportation, renewable energy resources, greenhouse gas emissions, and air quality and human health impacts.
