Los Angeles is set to generate 100,000 environmentally friendly jobs by the conclusion of 2025, according to Bass.
Los Angeles has successfully generated a significant number of green jobs, expanded its electric vehicle-charging infrastructure, and incorporated renewable energy sources like solar, as announced by Mayor Karen Bass on Friday.
As she approaches her second anniversary in office on Dec. 12, Bass is touring various locations throughout the city to showcase her administration’s initiatives aimed at addressing homelessness and achieving environmental objectives, along with other notable successes.
“We have worked urgently to build a greener Los Angeles to make a healthier and more sustainable city,” Bass said during a news conference downtown.
“Our work has led to significant increases in EV charging infrastructure, record amounts of storm water captured and reducing emissions throughout the city with the goal of hitting 100% clean energy by 2035,” she added.
L.A. has successfully achieved its target of generating over 100,000 green jobs by the close of 2025, accomplishing this milestone a year ahead of schedule. The availability of electric vehicle chargers has surged to nearly 16,000, marking a remarkable 77% rise since 2022.
This year, a significant solar installation and battery storage system began operation, providing electric and solar energy to approximately 25,000 homes in the city.
The city has made significant strides in its environmental objectives, bringing it closer to the realization of the Donald C. Tillman Groundwater Replenishment Project in the San Fernando Valley.
The facility, situated in the Van Nuys region, is set to become one of the most significant potable reuse initiatives in the nation. The initiative commenced on Monday, aiming to enhance the water supply for over 250,000 residents of Los Angeles.
“We are making significant investments in infrastructure and programs to ensure our city continues to weather the impacts of climate change and maintain access to critical life services of water and power,” DWP CEO Janisse Quiñones said.
