Mayor Eric Garcetti Monday unveiled a Green New Deal for Los Angeles, setting aggressive new environmental goals in a range of areas, including electric autos, air quality, trees and public transit.

The plan includes a reiteration of some previous commitments, but also sets some new benchmarks, including:

-- LADWP will supply 55% renewable energy by 2025, 80% by 2036, and 100% by 2045, along with big increases in solar energy;

-- sourcing 70% of L.A.'s water locally by 2035;

-- recycling 100% of all wastewater for beneficial reuse by 2035;

-- all new buildings will be net zero carbon by 2030, and 100% of buildings will be net zero carbon by 2050;
