Community Engagement

At Conservation Colorado, we are working to secure a healthy environment for all communities in Colorado. We partner with disproportionately impacted communities, support community leaders and hold our elected officials accountable to secure policies that advance climate action and environmental justice.

Community Engagement

For generations, disproportionately impacted communities – diverse communities who face higher environmental and health burdens due to pollution and climate change – have shown resilience and leadership in advocating for their rights and protecting the environment. Despite this, they have often been excluded from decision-making spaces, leaving their voices and experiences out of policies that affect their lives. Conservation Colorado is expanding our efforts across the state to ensure community members are at the forefront of creating equitable policies that protect our environment, benefit people and hold elected leaders accountable.

Empower community leaders

The lived experiences of communities affected by environmental injustice are vital to creating equitable and lasting environmental solutions. Through our free Climate Justice Leadership Academy programs, we provide mentorship, training and resources to help community members step into advocacy. Together, we’re cultivating a new generation of leaders shaping Colorado’s environmental policies.

Foster community partnerships

We partner with organizations and environmental leaders across the state to advance policies that benefit all Coloradans. Through efforts like the Colorado Outdoor Business Alliance (COBA), a network of 300+ businesses, we amplify environmental advocacy while fostering meaningful connections.

Amplify local voices

We prioritize intentional and collaborative relationships with organizations, communities and stakeholders to advance environmental, climate, racial and social justice. We empower community members to share their stories, take the lead and shape policies that reclaim their rights. Together, we build collective power to create a healthier and more equitable Colorado.
