Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has signed a pioneering Letter of Intent with Finland’s Minister for Foreign Trade and Development, a significant milestone promoting “climate cooperation.”
The Letter of Intent includes four key areas for collaboration:
The signing ceremony included U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan, who joined Bass at the Port of Los Angeles to unveil federal investments targeting zero-emission port equipment and infrastructure, air quality enhancement projects, and plans to safeguard the well-being of communities situated near U.S. ports.
“The climate crisis demands collaborative action on a global scale, and today, we reaffirm our commitment to building a greener Los Angeles through strategic partnerships both domestically and internationally,” Bass said.
In a statement following the signing, Minister Tavio expressed his enthusiasm for the agreement, emphasizing its potential to foster mutually beneficial cooperation between Finland and the City of Los Angeles.
Expected federal investments will bolster Los Angeles’s efforts to transition to a greener, more environmentally conscious future.
