| The Colorado Climate Project | |||
The Rocky Mountain Climate Organization recently launched the Colorado Climate Project, to bring Coloradans together to reduce the state's contribution and vulnerability to a changed climate. The project follows the model established by several state governments, including those in Arizona, New Mexico, and Montana, but is the first such project undertaken as a private initiative. The project directors of the Colorado Climate Project are:
The project directors will shortly appoint a Climate Action Panel, which will |
operate in an open process to evelop a set of recommendations for actions that can be taken in Colorado to address climate change. The panel will work until late 2007 to develop its recommendations on a set of actions that RMCO will then present to Colorado's new governor, the Colorado General Assembly, local governments, and others.
The full membership of the panel should be posted online by the week of November 13. The first meeting of the Climate Action Panel will be from 11:00 a.m. until perhaps 4:30 p.m. on Monday, November 20, at the office of the Colorado Muncipal League at 1144 Sherman Street in Denver. The meeting will be open to the public. Following the meeting of the panel, there will be a public kick-off reception for the Colorado Climate Project, from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., also on Monday, November 20, at the Grant-Humphreys Museum at 770 Pennsylvania Street in Denver. You are invited! This will be a chance to learn more about the Colorado Climate Project from the project directors, meet members of the panel, and have some fun. More information on the Colorado Climate Project is available in a news release announcing the project, a fact sheet describing the project, and a second fact sheet describing the role of the Center for Climate Strategies in the project.
