Collaborative Vision
The Gateway Cities Regional Climate Collaborative (GCRCC) brings together five expert community partners, including the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (the COG), the Southeast Los Angeles (SELA) Collaborative, TreePeople, GRID Alternatives, and the Los Angeles County Chief Sustainability Office. The collaborative’s partner structure is designed to engage neighborhoods along the I-710 freeway and West Santa Ana Branch Metro light rail corridors to increase their health, wealth, sustainability, and climate resiliency. The GCRCC will leverage an existing policy agenda, The SELA Agenda, to inform and guide its work.
Project Plans
Through the GCRCC, the partners will continue to strengthen and formalize our relationships while ensuring a community-driven response to climate change in our communities of focus in Southeast Los Angeles that have been disproportionately pollution burdened and historically underserved. The collaborative process will result in equitable outcomes by helping Cities creating their own Climate Action Plans, and increasing the capacity of all stakeholders, to increase the flow of funding into our communities.
The Gateway Cities Regional Climate Collaborative (GCRCC) partners are thrilled to be in the inaugural cohort of RCC grant awardees. Through this opportunity we can continue to strengthen and formalize our relationships, while ensuring a community-driven response to climate change in our communities of focus in Southeast Los Angeles that have been historically underserved.
