California Center for Sustainable Communities

The California Center for Sustainable Communities is a research center at University of California, Los Angeles that works to advance equitable and sustainable solutions for California's cities and communities. Our interdisciplinary team conducts research on water, energy, and urban infrastructure, working directly with policymakers, community organizations, and government agencies. We develop data-driven tools and strategies that inform decision-making at the local and state levels. Our work bridges technical expertise and community knowledge to support environmental justice and meaningful policy change across California.
