Marta Segura is the city of Los Angeles's first Chief Heat Officer and Director of the Office of Climate Emergencies. In these roles, Segura aligns Equity, Health, and Climate as they are central to reshaping the city's approach to creating resilient, equitable communities from the dangers of Extreme Heat and Climate Change. To that end, she has launched the Heat Relief 4 LA campaign, the City's first Heat Action Road map, and the Cool Spots LA app through collaborative efforts and to align with various City Plans and community voices. Most recently, Segura was a Program Officer for The California Endowment, a Los Angeles City planning commissioner, and a senior advisor to Mayor Garcetti. Her passion for co-creating livable healthy, resilient communities and the complex challenges of navigating multiple climate and human rights crises is more a mission quest, than a series of jobs.
