Climate change is driving more frequent and more severe wildfires. The electricity grid plays a dual role in this crisis: it can both spark wildfires and be damaged by them, leading to widespread economic and social consequences. The economic and human costs of wildfires are immense. Interventions designed to reduce the risk of electric system ignitions are expensive too. 

An expansive new program at UCLA School of Law has opened to teach people from all stages of professional life and the full array of backgrounds through intensive courses, led by UCLA Law faculty members, on the most pertinent topics in the law, business, and society today.

This list shows the 10 sites in the U.S. oil and gas sector with the largest persistent emissions rates, as seen by key satellite instruments in 2025.  At every site on this list, emissions were detected at least three times over the course of the year, and emissions were stubborn: they were seen at least half the time that satellites observed the sites. 

The Behind Bars Data Project at UCLA School of Law has published the first comprehensive dataset of deaths in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

Working in partnership with lawyer and journalist Andrew Free, members of the project used ICE records to create a resource that offers researchers, journalists, advocates, policymakers, and the public detailed insights on the nearly 300 people who have died in ICE custody since the agency’s creation in 2003.
