Juan Matute, director of the Local Climate Change Initiative at the Lewis Center was quoted Friday, July 12 in a New York Times article about new ride-sharing programs in Los Angeles that use smartphone apps to connect drivers and passengers.
The Local Climate Change Initiative is designed to strengthen local governments’ capacity to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change. The Initiative generates and disseminates new knowledge to support the creation of state policies addressing local emissions, assists local governments in meeting these new regulatory demands, and promotes best practices in local government climate action policies.
