March 31, 2021Sustainable LA Grand Challenge Executive Director Casandra Rauser attended a five-day virtual roundtable hosted by The Nature Conservancy, Los Angeles County Chief Sustainability Office, USC Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy and USDA California Climate Hub.
The virtual roundtable, Accelerating Nature-Based Climate Solutions Across California, was a series of short, two-hour sessions, asking for input on how to accelerate nature-based climate solutions, such as urban forestry and greening, wetland restoration, changes in land management, conservation of open space and fire risk mitigation, across Southern California.
