Generally, you're right that people in Los Angeles connect environmental degradation and climate change to public health issues. There's been an effort in the city of Los Angeles to promote the growth of green jobs, in part through activities the city itself has undertaken to reduce its energy use. The city works with a number of community-based organizations to provide jobs in retrofitting buildings, as well as to provide some financial support to community-based organizations to help promote the conservation of energy and water. There's an effort across the municipality to promote green jobs and to work with disadvantaged communities to grow those jobs. Much of this is encapsulated in the city's sustainability plan, which was issued by the mayor in 2015 and is due to be updated very soon.
