Colorado government officials and lawmakers have a lot on their plates during the 2021 legislative session — we are, after all, still in a global pandemic with devastating economic consequences — but leaders aren’t taking their eyes off the climate-change ball.
“Reducing our emissions is more than just a policy priority; it’s a moral imperative,” Gov. Jared Polis said Tuesday during an address at BizWest’s Net Zero Cities event.
Initiatives making their way through the legislative process highlight Colorado’s commitment to its position as a national leader on greenhouse gas reductions and other achievements related to the state’s ambitious goal of shifting completely to renewable-energy sources by 2040.
