The Los Angeles Sustainability Collaborative (LASC) is dedicated to creating a more sustainable Los Angeles by facilitating research, informing stakeholders and providing solutions to emerging environmental challenges. We envision a sustainable, livable, healthy and prosperous urban community that fosters thought leaders to create innovative environmental solutions. Our programs help train the next generation of sustainability leaders, advance research and collaboration with community partners, influence public policy and urban planning, and build a coalition of environmental advocates in the LA region. LASC works with and serves the people of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Santa Barbara, and Kern counties to improve the quality of life in our communities.
