The Los Angeles County OurCounty Sustainability Plan is one of the most comprehensive and ambitious regional sustainability plans in the nation. This plan was developed in collaboration with leaders from the communities that are most affected by environmental injustices and targeted the neighborhoods identified on the EJ community map.
