REGIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory & Forecasting

Along with regional leaders, EcoAction 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.

Racing to 2030: A safer, cleaner future in sight!
