Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Denver's climate has changed. In Colorado, we see more days over 100 degrees, a lower mountain snowpack, and more forest fires than 50 years ago. Scientists predict our climate will keep changing. We are helping Denverites prepare and thrive in our changing climate.
Community Engagement Spending time in and with our community is at the center of our work. Together, we can create the solutions that will help us meet our goals. Learn more about how we are getting feedback from our community, building partnerships with our neighbors, and how you can get involved.
Efficient Commercial and Multifamily Buildings Commercial and multifamily buildings account for nearly half of Denver's carbon emissions. Ensuring that these buildings are more efficient also means they are healthier to occupy and more affordable to operate. Understand the regulations helping Denver improve its buildings and find resources to make the transition more accessible.
Electrifying Denver's Homes The future of Denver's homes is all-electric. All-electric homes are more efficient, more comfortable, and more reliable in a changing climate. Denver's electric grid is on track to be zero emissions by 2050, so relying more on this cleaner grid means a healthier Denver for all.
Environmental Justice The Climate Protection Fund specifies that the fund “should endeavor to invest fifty percent (50%) of the dedicated funds directly in the community with a strong lens toward equity, race, and social justice.” We aim for that 50% requirement to be a floor, not a ceiling.
Green Jobs Our vision is to create career pathways and expand opportunities for people from under-resourced communities as we enable a just transition to a climate-resilient future for Denver.
