How it Started

In the summer of 2008, Mayor Martin Chávez appointed over 60 Albuquerqueans, all volunteers, to the Climate Action Task Force. Their assignment was to design strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050.

What is the Goal?

• The purpose behind the Climate Action Task Force is to make recommendations that are aimed at reducing local greenhouse gas emissions.

Who Makes up the CATF?

• The Climate Action Task Force are volunteers made up of environmentalists, engineers, scientists, business professionals, political action groups, government staff, and a wide range of expertise and opinions hopefully able to represent a cross section of the Albuquerque Demographics.
• The Plan has been reviewed by peer groups and is now ready to be submitted to the community for broader input prior to being submitted to the City Council.

Your Input is Needed

• Ten town hall meetings have been scheduled throughout the city during the month of August, to facilitate and obtain broader comments on the plan.
• We encourage you to read the proposed Climate Action Plan and share your thoughts with us,
  • by either participating in the town hall nearest you,
  • or by by filling out the Climate Action Plan Survey
