As we reflect on the 2025 legislative session, we’re filled with gratitude.
Your dedication, from contacting legislators to testifying at hearings to supporting Conservation Colorado financially, has been instrumental in securing crucial victories for Colorado’s climate and communities. Your advocacy made a real difference. Here are just a few of the highlights you helped make possible:
🌎 CLIMATE & CLEAN AIR
Tackled the nation’s top source of pollution: transportation
We drove and passed two new policies that expand clean transportation options, reduce traffic and improve transit access and reliability. These changes will help clean up our air and make it easier for people across the state to get to work, school and essential services.
Bringing renewable energy closer to home
Supported a new law that will make it easier to install power lines along Colorado’s highways, allowing more homes and businesses to be powered by clean energy like wind and solar, without harming wildlife habitat.
Defended clean electricity from corporate giveaways
We successfully blocked a bill that would have given tax breaks to energy- and water-intensive tech companies without requiring environmental safeguards. This effort protected Colorado’s clean electricity leadership and ensured our resources remain focused on real climate solutions.
⚖️ ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
Expanded access to the outdoors
We helped secure funding for the Outdoor Equity Grant Program, which helps historically excluded communities access parks, trails and nature. This is a critical investment in community health, both mental and physical, and an important step toward ensuring everyone can benefit from Colorado’s natural beauty.
🏞️ LANDS & WATER
Protected wildlife and outdoor recreation
The Colorado Wildlife Habitat Program was permanently reauthorized. Since its creation, the program has protected 35,000 acres of wildlife habitat and opened 156,000 acres for activities like hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing.
Invested in water quality and drought resilience
We secured important water quality improvements to address damage from historic mining, along with increased funding to tackle the growing threat of drought across the state.
These victories wouldn’t have been possible without your support. You stood up for Colorado’s environment, and it paid off.
Stay tuned for our 2025 Legislative Scorecard, where you’ll see how your representatives voted on these key issues and how their decisions align with your environmental values.
Together, we’re securing a healthier, more equitable future for Colorado.
