Yesterday, Eaton Canyon was abuzz with purpose as 100 volunteers gathered to remove invasive shrubs at the kickoff of @laclimateweek.

Removing invasives like wild mustard and fountain grass is key to the beloved canyon’s post-fire recovery. This lets native shrubs—that are more climate-adapted and fire-resistant—thrive.

With helping hands from @californiavolunteers, @laworksnow, the LA Conservation Corps, and many others, the land was cared for with dedication, strength, and heart.

The Governor’s team also shared that paid opportunities in climate action, disaster response, and recovery are available. More info at CAServiceCorps.com.

As our director shared with volunteers and Eaton Canyon docents, many who have lost their homes:
“The seeds of hope you planted here today are what inspire LA County Parks to keep doing this work. You inspire me and give me hope because we CAN make a difference—and today you are doing that.”

Wow. 2026 was the best LA Climate Week yet, and it truly could not have happened without our incredible community 💚🌎

To every partner, sponsor, local org, community leader, and person who showed up this year, THANK YOU. The list of people who made this possible is a long one, and that’s exactly the point 💪

Because LA Climate Week isn’t built by a single organization, institution, or office. It’s shaped by an entire community of organizers, educators, creatives, business leaders, civic institutions, faith communities, youth advocates, and neighbors from every corner of Los Angeles. 

We are so grateful for all of you. We can’t wait for what’s ahead, and believe it or not, we’re already hard at work on 2027. 

To everyone who supported LA Climate Week this year, you didn’t just make our events a success…you helped amplify and advance the climate work already happening all across LA!

The work continues. See you next year!

We’re getting closer to LA Climate Week 2026 and we’ve got a lot of new faces here, so we wanted to reintroduce what we’re all about and the moment we’re stepping into together! 🌎✨

LA Climate Week brings together climate efforts already underway across Los Angeles, across neighborhoods, sectors, and daily life, into one shared week that helps people see the full picture of what climate action looks like here.

We understand climate as something that shows up far beyond emissions or technology. It’s present in housing and displacement, in public health, in food systems and labor, in access to safety and stability, and in immigration. These issues are deeply connected, shaping who is most exposed to harm and who is able to plan for the future.

At a time when many of our neighbors are facing uncertainty and real suffering, solidarity matters. Standing united with all those working to promote justice, safety, and belonging is part of how we design a livable climate future, together.

So we invite you to be a part of this moment alongside us!

🗓️ Make your calendars for LACW2026, April 8-15!

How does change happen?

Deepti Kannapan joins me for this episode. She’s known for her TED Talk entitled ‘ The Climate Change Movement Needs Your Creativity, Not Your Guilt’. The Ted Talk presents powerful insights on dealing with feelings of responsibility and guilt over climate change, the mechanics of change, and how to turn negative feelings associated with the issue into positive meaningful action.

During this episode, we expand on Deepti’s message. Climate Change can promote a sense of hopelessness and a feeling of responsibility for the damage that has been done to the natural world. Deepti argues we are not individually responsible for damage, but do have a responsibility to act. Deepti lays out an action plan for those who want to make a positive change, and feel good about doing so.

Deepti Kannapan is an artist, engineer, and climate activist in the Los Angeles area. She’s the author of Fire’s Ally, a fantasy novel with climate themes. She’s active with organizations such as 350.org and the league of women voters.

Deepti gives a shout out to:

On April 13, we co-organized California’s First Policy Forum on the Culture Global Stocktake as part of #LAClimateWeek2026 🌇🌱

Artists, designers, cultural producers, community organizers, consultants and academics gathered at the Thai Community Development Center (Thai CDC) for a half a day of productive conversations, real policy work and an abundant selection of vegetarian/vegan fare.

Following the delivery of the first public draft of the Culture Global Stocktake for Climate Action, this forum brought together Angelenos to collectively assess policy gaps, stress-test emerging recommendations while aligning on pathways to embed culture across mitigation, adaptation, Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) and climate finance agendas.

The room engaged with ideas surrounding funding, industry accountability, green space, indigenous wisdom, storytelling and community repair with intersectional themes such as:
✧ Artist stipend models and multi-year community funding
✧ Nature access as mental-health infrastructure
✧ Joy, play and cultural belonging as tools for climate resilience
✧ In LA, younger generations, industry transformations and community spaces offer hope

Thank you to everyone who participated, contributing their knowledge, tools and lived experience to this collective process ✌️

Organized by @creativemigration @entertainmentculturepavilion @laclimateweek. Hosted by @thaicdc. Special thanks to our food & beverage sponsors @cafetropicalsunset @plantbasedtreaty @liquiddeath!

On April 13, we co-organized California’s First Policy Forum on the Culture Global Stocktake as part of #LAClimateWeek2026 🌇🌱

Artists, designers, cultural producers, community organizers, consultants and academics gathered at the Thai Community Development Center (Thai CDC) for a half a day of productive conversations, real policy work and an abundant selection of vegetarian/vegan fare.

Following the delivery of the first public draft of the Culture Global Stocktake for Climate Action, this forum brought together Angelenos to collectively assess policy gaps, stress-test emerging recommendations while aligning on pathways to embed culture across mitigation, adaptation, Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) and climate finance agendas.

The room engaged with ideas surrounding funding, industry accountability, green space, indigenous wisdom, storytelling and community repair with intersectional themes such as:
✧ Artist stipend models and multi-year community funding
✧ Nature access as mental-health infrastructure
✧ Joy, play and cultural belonging as tools for climate resilience
✧ In LA, younger generations, industry transformations and community spaces offer hope

Thank you to everyone who participated, contributing their knowledge, tools and lived experience to this collective process ✌️

Tiny but mighty 🦋 It’s Endangered Species Day!

Once on the verge of extinction, the El Segundo Blue Butterfly is making a comeback thanks to hands-on volunteer work, educational programs, and environmental restoration initiatives that reconnect native habitat spaces.

In 1976, the pollinator became the first insect listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Its survival depends entirely on the coastal dune ecosystems along the South Bay, where the butterfly’s host plant, sea buckwheat, grows.

In collaboration with SouthBay Parkland Conservancy @southbayparklandconservancy we spoke with Mary Simun  – Vice President, educator, and biologist of South Bay Parkland Conservancy – about the nonprofit’s role in restoring the El Segundo Blue’s population and preserving our native landscape.

When we invest in local stewardship, we’re not just saving one species, but rebuilding entire ecosystems, one wingbeat at a time. 🌱

Even the smallest wings can carry the biggest story.

SOCAL: One week from today is the final opportunity for the public to weigh in on the future of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the South Coast.

The MPAs currently under review include Point Dume (Malibu), Farnsworth (Catalina), Point Vicente, Laguna Beach, and Cabrillo (San Diego).

Over the past few weeks, we’ve attended multiple public hearings — and one thing has become very clear: the conversation is often dominated by fishing industry voices, while perspectives from science, Indigenous communities, ocean recreation, conservation, diving, and everyday Californians remain underrepresented.

Our ocean belongs to all of us. Healthy marine ecosystems support biodiversity, recreation, coastal economies, climate resilience, and ways of life that make California special.

If the ocean has ever meant something to you — whether through surfing, diving, tidepooling, wildlife, research, photography, or simply knowing these places exist — we hope you’ll join us in San Clemente on Tuesday to speak up for the future of our coast.

-a love letter to our community at the closing ceremony.

As both myself @dnathreds
and @dr.courtneywright hold the “Love & Peace” seaweed material from @swaythefuture messages that I carried with me throughout the week.

Many beautiful faces too many to tag but all with one purpose “for a brighter future for all”, through climate action.

Let us know what was your favorite part of LACW? Did you get to connect with others?Any funny moments?What would you like to see going forward?
