Additional Resources:
Colorado has set itself apart in leading the nation on state-level carbon initiatives. In 2019, state lawmakers enacted a law to create a science-based framework for Colorado to take real and immediate action to address climate change and support disproportionately impacted communities. Join our experts as they explain Colorado’s recently codified climate goals, break down what the state will need to do in order to meet them, and explain how you can help!
