LOS ANGELES COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OFFICIALLY PROCLAIMS LA CLIMATE WEEK APRIL 8–15, 2026

Motion led by Solis, Horvath directs county departments to promote community participation across the region

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors today adopted a motion authored by Chair and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis and coauthored by Third District Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath officially proclaiming April 8-15, 2026 as Los Angeles Climate Week (LACW) in Los Angeles County. The proclamation is an invitation to bring climate conversations out of institutional spaces and into the places where they matter most — businesses, classrooms, faith communities, and neighborhoods across the region.

While the official observance runs April 8-15, the broader LACW calendar of events spans late March through early May — reflecting the depth of engagement across LA County and the range of organizations, businesses, and communities that have made this initiative their own. Events are free and open to the public.

The motion directs the County’s Chief Sustainability Office, in collaboration with departments including Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Regional Planning, and Public Health, to promote LA Climate Week across County platforms and encourages County departments and community partners to participate directly in LACW events throughout the region.

This year’s theme, “Designing Our Climate Future, Together,” reflects LACW’s approach: climate solutions built across sectors, in community, and grounded in the full diversity of Los Angeles. Whether at a city council chamber, a local business, a school, or a kitchen table, the goal is the same — to make climate conversations normal, accessible, and relevant everywhere they happen. The full calendar is at laclimateweek.com.

“Every year, Los Angeles County faces unprecedented climate events, from extreme heat to destructive storms, threatening our communities and environment. Current federal policies that ignore environmental protections continue to have detrimental impacts on our neighborhoods and natural resources. Just this week, we issued a heat advisory even though winter has not yet ended,” said Los Angeles County Chair and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis. “This is a clear sign of the times. LA Climate Week is more than a proclamation—it is a call to action for all of us to stand together, support one another, and build stronger, more resilient communities.”

“With temperatures rising and climate impacts showing up in our daily lives, climate action has never been more urgent. As the Trump Administration rolls back critical environmental gains, we must lead with urgency locally. This is what LA Climate Week is about—meeting people where they are and making it easier to learn, connect, and take action in their own communities,” said Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath. “With events happening across Los Angeles County that are free and open to all, more people have a chance to be part of the solution.”

“LA Climate Week was built on the idea that climate action needs more on-ramps — for businesses, community organizations, and everyday Angelenos alike,” said Daniel Thorman, Co-Founder, LA Climate Week, and Executive Director, Collidescope Foundation. “County recognition helps us reach further: into more boardrooms and living rooms, more storefronts and classrooms, more of the communities that have every right to shape what LA’s climate future looks like. We’re grateful to Supervisors Solis and Horvath, and we’re just getting started.”
