Dear Summit Participants: Nothing could have prepared us for the magnitude or intensity of the adversity we are currently facing as a city, state and nation. We have spent the last seven months coping with a deadly virus that has entirely changed the way we live our lives and upended our economy. We have experienced record high temperatures in the Western states leading to power shortages, and now we have catastrophic wildfires burning throughout the West Coast making it hazardous to breathe. This is a historic and unprecedented time that requires bold action. The Los Angeles Business Council is proud to be hosting its 14th Annual Sustainability Summit for the first time with USC President Carol Folt to discuss exactly how government, private, nonprofit, and academic leaders can meet this moment to prevent the worst possible scenarios of climate change. This year’s Summit features international, national and state government and business leaders that will be responsible for planning and executing a bold climate strategy. It will be critical that we all step up our response to this crisis and act now to protect our environment and our well-being. For our part, the LABC is proud to be the first business group to step up and endorse Governor Newsom’s call to accelerate our 100% green energy grid by 2045 and to fast-track our efforts to continue as the world leader in sustainability and renewable energy. We believe we can, and must act, while improving our planning to assure a reliable energy grid and a just transition for those who may be left behind in the wake of progress. As the coronavirus pandemic rages against the backdrop of the West Coast fires and great economic uncertainty, we are being forced to confront multiple crisis at once. However, California has shown that it is up to the challenge of meeting our 100% renewable energy goal – and with even greater speed and urgency! – to fight the scourge of climate change and build a stronger, clean economy. California continues to lead the nation in reducing our carbon output and advancing policies that lay the groundwork for a more vibrant, inclusive green economy. In support of our critical progress, we applaud our summit speakers, panelists and the LABC’s Energy & Environment Committee, and we thank you for your participation.

Sincerely,

Mary Leslie Nadine Watt Brad Cox President, LABC LABC Chair LABC Institute Chairman

U.S. Congressman Tony Cárdenas Member, House Committee on Energy and Commerce Raised by hard-working immigrant parents, Tony Cárdenas was brought up with simple ideals – that integrity and dedication were the keys to success. These are the qualities that he has brought to his career as a public servant, and he continues to offer that today as a United States Congressman. Rep. Cárdenas was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2013 for the 113th Congress (2013-2014) and has represented California’s 29th district since. Now in the 116th Congress (2019-2020), Rep. Cárdenas sits on the prestigious House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where he is fighting for hard-working American families. He has worked on and authored legislation to lower prescription drug prices, protect American consumers, combat climate change, and ensure that everyone has access to affordable, quality health care. The Committee on Energy and Commerce is the oldest of the "authorizing" committees in the House.
