LA Climate Week grew out of a recognition that Los Angeles—one of the most climate-impacted and culturally influential regions in the world—had an opportunity to bring greater visibility and connection to the climate work already happening across the region. As global cities created their own climate weeks and international sporting events like the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games approached, a grassroots group of colleagues saw a window of time to elevate climate action in Los Angeles.

The first LA Climate Week was hosted in 2024. Rather than building a centralized conference or directing the work of others, Los Angeles Climate Week was designed to connect and amplify efforts already underway—local organizations, educators, creatives, faith leaders, businesses, and neighbors—into a shared week of visibility and exchange.

The goal was not to start from scratch, but to help Angelenos see the full picture of climate solutions already in motion—and discover where they fit.
