UCLA and the Port of Los Angeles partner to advance sustainability, research and healthier communities
“UCLA and the Port of Los Angeles share core commitments to advancing sustainability, helping build healthier communities across the region and innovating for the public good,” said UCLA Interim Chancellor Darnell Hunt. “This agreement will allow us to forge new collaborations between two of L.A.’s most important and impactful institutions.”
The new partnership is a natural one, the organizers said. The port, the largest and busiest in North America, is also working to become the world’s most sustainable. And UCLA South Bay, acquired in by UCLA in September 2022, is gearing up to offer a curriculum based on sustainability, climate change and environmental justice — expanding opportunities for students and faculty at the nation’s No. 1–ranked public university.
