From clean energy to artificial intelligence, emerging technologies are changing how businesses operate and the skills workers need. Preparing for these shifts requires connecting innovation with workforce development and ensuring that new industries create pathways to quality jobs.
We are pleased to welcome Matt Petersen, President and CEO of LACI, to Panel 1, “A Look Ahead: Technological Developments That Will Drive the Economy and the Workforce,” at SAFER’s Third Annual State of the Worker Summit. Drawing on his leadership in clean technology and economic development, Matt will bring a perspective on how emerging industries can expand opportunities for workers and strengthen local economies.
The State of the Worker Summit will bring together leaders from business, labor, government, education, philanthropy, and community organizations to discuss the decisions shaping the future of work. Together, we will explore technological change, the importance of arts and media work, and how to prepare the workforce for an evolving economy.
Join the conversation, connect with leaders across sectors, and help advance a future where workers share in the benefits of innovation. Register today to join us on October 29, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the ASU California Center in Downtown Los Angeles.

🤝 We kicked off #ClimateWeekNYC with our first event, "Fostering State & City Level Support for Climate Innovation" held at the BATWorks Temp Space in the Brooklyn Army Terminal!
With support from our partners, this event convened leading advanced energy incubators from across the country, city representatives from LA and NYC, as well as leaders from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the California Energy Commission (CEC), and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), to share best practices and lessons learned from their work supporting energy innovation and technology.
The event served as a potent reminder that by prioritizing collaboration, cities and states can effectively drive both tech & process innovation.
Thank you to our partners, speakers, and attendees for joining the conversation and helping build momentum for climate innovation across the country!
Speakers: Ben Downing, CEO of MassCEC | Jennifer Garson, Founding Partner of Waypoint Strategy Group | Doreen Harris, President and CEO of @nyserda | David Hochschild, Chair of the California Energy Commission @calenergy | Matt Petersen, President and CEO of LACI | Randall Winston, Deputy Mayor of Infrastructure & Climate Resilience for the City of Los Angeles @lacity | Julie Su, Deputy Mayor of Economic Justice for the City of New York

This week, we hosted the Road to 2028 Summit at the home of 2028 Olympic basketball, @intuitdome.
Co-chaired by NBA All-Star and entrepreneur @russwest44, LACI's Road to 2028 Summit convened Olympic athletes, policymakers, entertainment industry advocates, and leaders from across sectors committed to ensuring the 2028 Games leave a lasting legacy of economic investment, green jobs, and cleaner air throughout Greater Los Angeles. With nearly $600 million in new commitments announced to advance clean air, clean energy, clean transportation, and other sustainable solutions across the region by the time of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we're already taking meaningful steps toward creating healthier communities for all Angelenos.
Russell shared, "Being from LA, I want to be able to leave a legacy, not just on the court but to use that platform to be able to bring business and communities together–and there's no better way to be doing that than through the 2028 Games. I am proud to co-chair LACI's Road to 2028 with Matt–together with our partners, we can help all Angelenos feel and see improvements in air quality and investments in our communities, in particular for our youth.

🚨 Read now: Phase 1 recommendations for climate action + fire-safe recovery!
We have a rare chance to rebuild fire-ravaged communities—exposed to wildfires, earthquakes, and rising climate risks—into stronger, safer, more resilient places. 🌍🔥💪
The Blue Ribbon Commission brought together a powerful mix of voices: Commissioners, UCLA researchers, community leaders, policy experts, and more.
Here's a peek at what we're recommending:
➡️ Build regional teams to lead coordinated climate action
🔥 Require tougher fire-resilient building standards
⚡ Speed up the switch to clean energy + modernize the grid 💧
Make water systems safer + more climate-resilient
❤️ Center health, equity + disaster preparedness
💼 Rethink insurance + financing for a safer future
We hope these initial recommendations and draft action plans will inform and seed policy and budget deliberations in real time. Over the next couple of weeks, we will continue to engage with Palisades and Altadena community members, policymakers, and key stakeholders to solicit feedback, questions, and ideas to help us refine the final recommendations.

20 years ago, I reached out to actors @salmahayek & @jakegyllenhaal to support a climate initiative in the Arctic. Arctic Wisdom, as it was called, would send an urgent call from the top of the world to heed the troubling signs of global warming.
With friends and fellow peaceful warriors @mattspete and John Quigley of @spectral_q , we endeavored to organize a press conference and an areal image of advocacy.
We called on then Chair of the Arctic Circumpolar Conference Sheila Watt-Cloutier @sheiladaactivist to enlist the help of the people of Iqaluit, Nunavut to spell out a message on the ice, that is John’s exceptional talent.
Eric Garcetti,then president of Los Angeles’ city council (future 2-terms LA Mayor and now U.S. Ambassador to India) joined our group with a delegation of U.S. press and politicians to send a clarion to the world.
Arctic Wisdom had a simple message: Inuit culture was threatened by the loss of ice. Like a canary in the coal mine, the threat to its cultural identity announced the loss to other cultures the world over. If the Inuit were first to go, they certainly wouldn’t be the last.
Twenty years on, virtually to the day, the message resonates ever louder. In September 2005, the Arctic sea ice extent was approximately 6.5 million square kilometers. By September 2024, it had decreased to about 4.3 M sq/km. Over the past 40 years, the end-of-summer Arctic Ocean sea ice has lost about three-quarters of its volume.
That loss has profound implications for global climate patterns, including the potential for more extreme weather events in mid-latitudes, and the general warming of sea and air. Like turning down the dial on the world’s air conditioner.
In spite of such incontrovertible evidence, we go on debating the significance of these transformations, and mostly look the other way.
So, what will we say 20 years from now?
