Colorado
Colorado's greenhouse gas emissions in 2005 were 35 percent higher than in 1990 and under a business-as-usual scenario, are projected to grow to 81 percent above 1990 levels by the year 2020.
Colorado state government has three important roles to play in facing the climate change challenge:
- Enact "bridge strategies" that immediately reduce greenhouse gas emissions while we pursue technologies to generate cleaner energy.
- Provide leadership to ensure that long-term solutions, such as renewable energy and clean coal technologies, are fully developed and broadly implemented.
- Prepare the state to adapt to those climate changes that cannot be avoided.
