REGIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory & Forecasting
EcoAction Partners along with regional leaders tracks greenhouse gas emissions, updates forecasting and sets specific climate action goals and objectives for the region.
In 2023 San Miguel and Ouray Counties produced ~429,000 metric tons of Co2 equivalent (mtCO2e)
We are looking ahead to goals of a 50% reduction in our GHG emissions by 2030 and a 90% reduction by 2050
Continuing with Business As Usual, our region will not meet the emissions reduction goals set by the state of Colorado and adopted by our regional governments
Business As Usual Forecasting for San Miguel and Ouray County
In order to reduce emissions by 50%, our communities need to reduce emissions by 50%. The quality and quantity of energy we consume must change, how we move through our region must change, the type of food and materials we consume -as well as where they come from and go after use- must change.
2018 greenhouse gas emissions inventory
EcoAction Partners along with regional leaders continues to track greenhouse gas emissions, and sets goals and coordinates actions to reduce GHG emissions.
2023 Regional Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory
This report presents a historical perspective on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across EcoAction Partners’ (EAP) region, a snapshot of the regional GHG Inventory in 2023 and regional forecasts through 2050. This document marks the first standalone regional GHG Inventory and Forecast report for San Miguel, San Juan and Ouray Counties, since the original baseline report based on 2010 data.
2017 Greenhouse gas emissions inventory
Since 2010, EcoAction Partners has been our region’s resource for collecting, analyzing and reporting on Greenhouse Gas Emissions data. In 2017, a comprehensive report was created covering 7 years of GHG data.
sneffels energy board
Recognizing the power of collaboration, EcoAction Partners formed the Sneffels Energy Board in 2009 to address sustainability at a regional level. The board was created to reduce GHG emissions and consumption of valuable natural resources in the region through coordinated community engagement, project implementation, and policy change at both local and state levels.
