The Central New Mexico Comprehensive Climate Action Plan is here. Explore what’s at stake, what we’re doing, and how you can be part of the solution.
What’s At Stake.
Dangerous heat, pollution, and natural disasters affect all New Mexicans, especially frontline communities, which suffer the first and worst of their effects.
River and streamflow projected to decrease 25% by 2050, threatening agriculture, ecosystems, and everyday life.
High-severity wildfire area is expanding, and smoke affects air quality around the region.
Temperatures projected to rise, increasing heat illness and energy costs for vulnerable residents and outdoor workers.
As climate change reshapes global landscapes, more people are forced to move, not by choice, but by necessity.
“From the Rio Grande drying, to growing stands of dead pinon trees, and stinging eyes from wildfire smoke, the impacts of climate change are impossible to ignore.”
