Faculty & Staff Address ĢӰ's Climate Policy

"Where is ĢӰ's 2017 Climate Action Plan?", asks Shelly Miller, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and faculty member of the Environmental Engineering Program at the University of ĢӰ Boulder.

Researchers and educators from ĢӰ high education institutions have teamed up to take matters into their own hands and demand an updated climate action plan that moves beyond the 2015 climate action plan and includes measurable goals that are subject to deadlines. As a member of the project’s organizing committee, Miller has been collaborating with faculty and staff members from ĢӰ State University and the University of ĢӰ Boulder to call for more aggressive action on climate change at the ĢӰ State level.

This week a was sent to Governor Hickenlooper calling on him to “urgently release a 2017 Climate Action Plan with specific, measurable goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the state level and enhance adaptive capacity in ĢӰ communities.”
