Sustainability

LA28 is committed to leaving a positive, long-term legacy for our city, our region and the world. Our goal is to ensure that LA28’s environmental footprint is minimized and the Games actively contribute to expanding access to a healthy environment. We are doing this through prioritizing radical reuse, resilience and natural resource stewardship as well as the creation of our LA28 Resilience Champions Initiative.

CHAMPIONING THE FUTURE

LA28 RESILIENCE CHAMPIONS

Through the LA28 Resilience Champions Initiative, we are investing in a more resilient Los Angeles, creating lasting community benefits that begin now and will continue beyond the Games.  

The LA28 Resilience Champions Fund will provide grants to nonprofits for local projects that strengthen resilience across the Los Angeles region, focused on wildfire resilience, nature restoration, ocean protection and cooling solutions.

The initiative and the fund are represented by the official LA28 Resilience Champions emblem, a symbol representing the three pillars of the LA28 Resilience Champions initiative. Learn more about the emblem here. 

We’re proud to celebrate our  first round of Resilience Champions Fund grantees, whose projects advance community resilience and long-term wellbeing for Angelenos. These organizations represent the creativity, leadership, and collaboration that help ensure Los Angeles thrives.
