Learn More About Climate Action in Central New Mexico!
The ways we move, power buildings, create and dispose of materials, and manage the land around us can produce harmful climate pollutants. These pollutants can impact human health, damage the environment around us, and alter weather patterns.
Everyday, humans create both bodily and landfilled waste that must be treated. The infrastructure needed to process and treat this waste is a necessary part of maintaining the public health of any community.
Frontline communities are those hit first and worst by climate pollution and extreme weather.
Getting around and moving things are vital parts of any community facilitating access to employment opportunities, educational institutions, essential services, and social gatherings. However, traditional transportation systems predominantly rely on fossil fuels, thereby contributing to air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs).
Agriculture and Land Use
Central New Mexico has a long history of agriculture and strong land management practices. Land use issues present both a great threat and a great opportunity to achieve climate goals.
The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) Planning Program is funding strategic planning efforts across the US, covering over 97% of the US population.
The built environment encompasses everything that is human-made. Every day, we live, work, and play within the built environment, which includes buildings, infrastructure, parks and open spaces, and more.
