Climate change is already impacting Colorado’s people, economy, wild places and way of life. We’re seeing hotter temperatures and drier summers; larger, more devastating wildfires; and shorter winters. It’s critical that our leaders prioritize combating climate change and acting for communities that bear a disproportionate burden of environmental pollution.
Join us in the fight against climate change.
For the sake of future generations of Coloradans, we must prioritize clean air protections and climate action.
Combat Climate Change
We are leading the way toward strong climate policies at the state Capitol and throughout Colorado to cut carbon pollution and make our air healthier for generations to come.
Promote Clean Energy
Solar and wind power can fulfill our energy needs while boosting our economy and saving Colorado families money. We are working to accelerate the transition to clean energy, while ensuring that communities who are historically reliant on fossil fuels don’t get left behind.
Transform Our Transportation Sector
Transportation is one of the largest sources of carbon pollution and vehicle emissions endanger public health. We are working to reduce pollution from cars, trucks, and buses by supporting transportation solutions that are good for all Coloradans.
Move Beyond Dirty Fuels
Colorado’s history of fossil fuel production does not have to define its future. We work at the local, state, and national level to make sure that oil and gas development does not harm the health of our land, air, water, and communities.
Protect Air Quality
Throughout our state, Coloradans are breathing dirty air. We tackle the problem at its sources: electricity generation, transportation, industrial activity, and other sources that are harming our communities.

“It’s really important we address climate change before it’s too far gone and we don’t have a healthy community or a healthy environment to be living in anymore. We need to make a better future for everybody.”
