LA County’s First Regional Sustainability Plan: CSO Gary Gero Highlights Its Ambitions

When Gary Gero was appointed Los Angeles County’s first ever Chief Sustainability Officer in 2017, he took on the hefty task of developing a comprehensive plan to drive the region’s 88 cities toward a clean and equitable economy.

Gero joins TPR to highlight the steps needed to reach carbon neutrality, build half a million affordable housing units, and achieve even more aggressive goals by 2050.
