The Ouray and San Miguel County Regional Climate Action Plan was completed in 2021 by EcoAction Partners and Sneffels Energy Board. This plan sets the stage for the next decade of climate action across our region.

Successful implementation of the following 21 objectives and supporting actions will help our community continue to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from our 2010 GHG emissions baseline, while we continue to see economic and population growth. We are looking ahead to goals of a 50% reduction in our GHG emissions by 2030 and a 90% reduction by 2050.

This plan will act as a roadmap for continued collaborative regional actions across the eight sectors of: Community Engagement & Policy, Energy Supply, Buildings, Transportation, Waste, Food, Water, and Land.

This plan is a regional community working document. Though specific entities, governments, organizations and individuals might take the lead on certain actions, success will take deliberate partnership across our entire region. No one organization, department, or government is solely responsible for the execution of the actions listed in this CAP. This document will help guide intentional actions over the next 3-, 5-, and 10- years as we move towards a more sustainable future.
