Los Angeles is gearing up for its upcoming mega-event, the Olympics, with a strong focus on sustainability and climate action. With nearly $600 million in new commitments announced by the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI), the plan aims to improve air quality and economic opportunities through investments in clean energy and transportation electrification. NBA star Russell Westbrook played a key role in promoting these green infrastructure investments. However, the shadow of former President Trump raises questions about the green ambitions of the upcoming Games.
