Global warming is one of the most serious issues facing our planet and is likely to have highly negative impacts on Boulder County and the Rocky Mountain region. PLAN has made climate action - specifically efforts that bring Boulder County residents together to reduce our contributions to climate change - its leading agenda issue for 2009.
Many of the issues that PLAN Boulder County has tackled over the past 50 years have addressed climate change. Development and density, green building, Smartgrowth planning, transportation and transit, open space, and many other key issues for PLAN are linked to greenhouse gas emissions. With local communities taking stock of our collective impacts on global climate change, PLAN Boulder County will provide more opportunities to inform, educate, and advocate in order to meet the Kyoto protocol goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to slow global warming.
