This climate plan from the Colorado state government establishes its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote state policies that increase the agencies’ preparedness to address impacts we cannot avoid.
Summary
The goal of this document is to set clear and specific emission reduction goals for the State of Colorado and identify opportunities to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions; while also promoting state policy recommendations and actions that increase Colorado’s state agencies level of preparedness to impacts we cannot avoid. In this plan, goals are set, specific actions are called for, and policy recommendations are made. Because addressing climate change is best addressed collaboratively, this plan has been developed collectively by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), the Colorado Energy Office (CEO), the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA), the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), and the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), with input from key stakeholders.
