| Name | Rocky Mountain Climate Organization (RMCO) : Colorado Climate Project (CCP) : Climate Action Panel (CAP) |
| Project Purpose | The Climate Action Panel is charged to develop recommendations for actions that can be taken in Colorado to reduce the state’s contribution and vulnerability to a changed climate. Those recommendations are to include goals that can be adopted consistent with the goal of an efficient, robust Colorado economy for statewide reductions in the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted, actions that can be taken that would achieve those goals, and actions that can be taken to prepare for and reduce the possible adverse impacts of climate change in Colorado. The recommendations may also include actions that can be taken by Colorado as part of international, national or regional efforts that would reduce Colorado’s contribution and vulnerability to climate change. The panel shall, to the extent reasonably possible with the best information available, consider the feasibility and costs or cost savings of possible goals and actions and develop goals and actions that may achieve additional benefits, including protecting and improving Colorado’s economy, public health, and natural resources and avoid adverse economic or environmental impacts. In considering how goals and actions may affect Colorado’s economy, the panel shall take into account the effects of both action and inaction. It is up to the members of the panel to determine which actions it recommends, with no recommendations predetermined. The panel shall work in an open process that allows for Coloradans not on the panel to observe the work of the panel and to submit in an appropriate manner comments for consideration by the members of the panel. A report with the recommendations of the panel is expected before the end of calendar year 2007. The Climate Action Panel’s recommendations for presentation by the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization to the Colorado Governor, the Colorado General Assembly, local governments, and others in Colorado for their consideration are contained in the Final Report and Appendices. This project operates in Colorado. |
