Los Angeles Parts Ways with First-Ever Heat Officer, Climate Action Plan Continues

Los Angeles has let go of its first-ever Chief Heat Officer, Marta Segura, and the Bass administration is planning to replace her soon. The city is also reducing its Climate Emergency Mobilization Office to just one staffer. Environmental groups are concerned about the lack of green leaders under Bass, as recent exits include the heads of water and power and sanitation. Despite this, progress is being made with a new climate plan targeting doubled solar by 2030, less fossil fuels, and better heat defenses. The city council is also drafting indoor heat rules for renters. With extreme heat becoming more frequent, the new hire announcement this month will be closely watched.
