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

Researchers and educators from Colorado 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 Colorado State University and the University of Colorado Boulder to call for more aggressive action on climate change at the Colorado 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 Colorado communities.”
