Project
After launching its Green New Deal in 2019, Los Angeles set out to achieve 100% clean energy by 2035. Part of decarbonization is shifting to building electrification, but diverse community support and buy-in are critical to its success. The FUSE Executive Fellow will support leadership to coordinate community outreach, determine best practices, and develop a program strategy and framework for an equity-forward approach to building electrification in LA.
