After announcing\u00a0the plan, Mayor Garcetti signed an <a href=\"https:\/\/d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net\/mayorofla\/pages\/17165\/attachments\/original\/1428528244\/Executive_Directive_No._7_Sustainable_City_pLAn.pdf?1428528244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">executive directive<\/a> incorporating the plan into city management, including appointing department-level Chief Sustainability Officers who will work with the city&#8217;s Chief Sustainability Officer within the Mayor&#8217;s Administration to achieve the plan&#8217;s goals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Los Angeles grew into one of the world&#8217;s great cities because its residents and leaders dreamed, planned and then took action to build the metropolis we enjoy today. Now, it&#8217;s our turn to lay a foundation to secure a brighter future for L.A. We expect at least 500,000 additional people to call our city home by 2035. Our first ever sustainability plan details actions we must take in the coming months and years to secure a future for L.A. that is environmentally healthy, economically prosperous and equitable in opportunity for us all,&#8221; Mayor Garcetti said. &#8220;My back to basics approach is about making sure our city has the strong foundation it needs to soar to new heights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The plan&#8217;s targets would make L.A. the national leader in solar, electric vehicle infrastructure, water conservation and green jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The plan also breaks new ground by making LA\u2019s first-ever commitments in zero emissions goods movement at the Port of Los Angeles, the first-ever commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, and the first-ever commitment to reduce per capita vehicle miles traveled.<\/p>\n<p>Implementation of the plan will be coordinated across every city department, in accordance with the Executive Directive signed by Mayor Garcetti today. Progress made toward the goals laid out in the plan can be tracked by Angelenos on a special Sustainability segment of the Mayor&#8217;s performance metrics dashboard at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/performance.lacity.org\/sustainability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/performance.lacity.org\/sustainability<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The success of this initiative rides on the adoption and implementation of the details of the plan not only by City Departments but also by organizations and individual Angelenos who are being asked to \u201cAdopt the Plan\u201d.
