This week, we were thrilled to join forces with LA Climate Week 2025! 🌱 👏 A big thank you to Dan Thorman, and The Collidescope Foundation for the opportunity. Ann Rosenberg, a member of our Earth Public Information Collaborative (EPIC) Leadership Council, proudly represented us at the Inaugural Ceremony in Downtown LA and later at Soho House & Co, during a powerful panel on “The New Narrative” hosted by Finnish Flow. The opening ceremony brought together community organizers, artists, funders, and city leaders to explore what it truly means to protect both people and planet. 🌏 As the climate conversation evolves, how can marketing and communications keep up—and lead the way? Ann spotlighted our vision for global and regional mobilization toward COP30 and gave a sneak peek of the soon-to-be-released EPIC Blueprint: Transforming Climate Narratives Through Health & Wellbeing—a bold framework using health as a powerful lens for climate action. 📣  Learn more about LA Climate Week here 👉  https://bit.ly/3XT9lxx  Want early access to the EPIC Blueprint?

We’re halfway through LA Climate Week and the energy has been intentional and grounded in impact. 🌍 Opening Ceremony brought together community organizers, artists, funders, and city officials to explore what it takes to protect both people and planet—focusing on collaborative partnerships and disaster prevention, response, and recovery. 💡 Impact Investor Night connected social entrepreneurs and funders working to scale proven climate solutions. The room was full of momentum, equity, and purpose. (More to come from this dinner…) 📍 LA as a Global Hub Strategic Roundtable Dinner brought together Vice Consul-General of the Philippines, Acting Consul General of the People’s Republic of China, and Consul General Marcella Smyth of Ireland, alongside other diplomats, business leaders and the LA County Office of Sustainability for a closed-door session on how Los Angeles can lead the world in climate tech, sustainable trade, and green investment. More to come. Get involved: www.laclimateweek.com #LAClimateWeek #ClimateAction #ClimateWeek #ImpactInvesting #ClimateSolutions

As wildfire risks grow, science and policy must work hand-in-hand to safeguard the health of our communities and build greater resilience to the impacts of climate change. Yesterday, as part of LA Climate Week, CWI hosted a panel discussion with researchers at California Air Resources Board and UCLA Fielding School of Public Health to share insights on how we can leverage policy to better protect communities from the public health impacts of wildfire. Huge thank you to our panelists – Miriam Marlier, Assistant Professor of Global Environmental Change at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and Elizabeth Scheehle, Research Division Chief at the California Air Resources Board – for an intimate, engaging conversation with local community members. Explore some of the key takeaways from the discussion: - Wildfire Smoke Exposure is Evolving – So Too is Our Research: As wildfire smoke exposure shifts from rare, episodic events to ongoing, subchronic exposures overlapping with other climate-driven health risks such as heat and urban air pollution, our research is also shifting to monitor the health impacts of exposure to these persistent hazards. - Community Resilience Goes Beyond Physical Rebuilding and Recovery: Community bonds and “sense of place” have been disrupted by evacuation, destruction, and displacement due to catastrophic fire, highlighting a need for increased research and resources around mental health. - Merging Research & Innovation with Community-Informed Insights: There’s a growing call within the California state legislature for shared, open-access data on smoke and public health impacts – merging these tools with community-informed insights will be critical to building comprehensive and equitable health data platforms that align with public needs.   #climateandwildfire #laclimateweek #carb #ucla #wildfire #science #research #innovation #publichealth #smoke #airquality #policy #climatepolicy #climateresilience #communityresilience #communityinsights #interdisciplinaryresearch #collaboration #collectiveaction

Any Sunday with The Surfrider Foundation Los Angeles cleaning beaches is a Sunday well-spent! 🏄 🐟 Started our day learning about Southern steelhead and the challenges they face. We then got to work removing debris from beaches, protecting both marine life and our beautiful coastline. 🏖️ ⚒️ The Surfrider team helped us discover the lagoon's history and the ecosystem's transformation over time. We ended our day overlooking the beautiful Surfrider Beach, taking a moment to reflect on why a clean coastline matters. An amazing day protecting our ocean friends and making new land friends! Thank you to everyone who joined! LA Climate Week is still in full swing - but we already can't wait for next year! Bonus points if you can spot CalTrout's Russell Marlow 👀 📸: Surfrider Foundation Los Angeles, Matthew John Benton

At SidePorch's Resilience & Rebuilding Day during LA Climate Week, our State of Play segments will offer quick, candid updates from folks in the thick of recovery work across LA. Between big visions and bold solutions, we're keeping our feet firmly planted on the ground. You'll hear candid reflections, honest concerns, and seeds of hope from professionals whose work spans policy, community, academia, and frontline rebuilding: Nurit Katz, UCLA's Chief Sustainability Officer and LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games Sustainability Co-Chair, brings a systems-level view of how institutions are adapting to meet the moment. Najla Kayyem, Executive Director at Steadfast LA, leads a team accelerating solutions on the ground and making it possible for fire victims to return home and begin again. Mary Leslie, President of the Los Angeles Business Council, pulls from her work in civic coordination with the LA County's Blue Ribbon Commission, and what still needs to shift for long-term recovery. Stephen Sachs, reporting from Altadena, maintains a focus on what this work looks like on the ground, and why community-first approaches matter more than ever. See you Friday at Crosscut Ventures for conversations that matter and momentum that we can build on to create a more resilient city: https://lu.ma/r6zjzp5g. And if someone in your orbit should be in the room, send them this.

We worked a fantastic case study in corporate sustainability with the UCLA Anderson Center for Impact during LA Climate Week. It highlighted the challenges we still face in measuring and evaluating organizations as leaders, investors, regulators, and socially-responsible people. This week's Think About That brings forward considerations for us as we continue along the journey to measure and set objectives for our impact. Special thanks to my amazing case team Max Joshua Elli Kantanen Christine Qin! UCLA Anderson School of Management #pldeverywhere #sustainability #climate #growth
