The Polis administration on Monday released the latest iteration of its sweeping plan to sharply curb greenhouse gas pollution in Colorado, whose ultimate goal is to reach “net zero” by 2050.
The updated version of the “Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap” outlines short-term “actions” that the administration intends to push over the next three years, notably in the areas of electrifying large buildings and encouraging land use policies to “support strategic growth.”
The list of 49 “near-term actions” include legislation to support “climate friendly” strategic growth; policies to reach “100% clean electricity generation” by 2040; and regulations to reduce emissions from oil and gas operations, landfills and coal mines.
