At L.A. Works, we believe that every action—big or small—counts in the fight against climate change. That’s why we’re partnering with California Volunteers, Office of the Governor to count the actions of Angelenos who see the importance of committing to sustainable practices to protect our planet.
By taking the Climate Action Pledge, you’re adding your efforts to a movement of Californians dedicated to a safer, more sustainable future for our families.
Count Your Actions, Get New Ideas: Our 10 Ways to Take Action
Your pledge focuses on 10 priority actions that help lower carbon emissions, conserve resources, and build climate-resilient communities. Some you are most likely already doing! Whether it’s choosing clean transportation, reducing food waste, conserving water, or planting trees, each action contributes to a healthier future for California. You don’t have to do all ten! Start with what you can, with what you have, and add your impact to something bigger!
