And two local manufacturers are taking practical actions, one of which is aligning to the Paris Agreement and the other which is aligning to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). [...] To prioritize near term actions to meet the 2025 and 2030 goals, the State developed and finalized the Greenhouse Gas Roadmap “Roadmap” in 2021. [...] The Roadmap outlines a multipronged approach with discrete actions to reduce emissions state-wide with the support of regional utilities and action from the industrial sector, and supports economic diversity and progress while improving the health and wellbeing of Colorado communities. [...] The program conducts two EMAs within the program year, one at the outset as an initial organizational baseline, and the second at the program year end to demonstrate progress and support ongoing prioritization and action. [...] Similar to the empowerment that SEM provides through tracking and reporting of energy data and energy performance, the integration of simple GHG tracking into the SEM performance tracking tool acts as a starting point for cohort members just becoming familiar with GHG principles and can catalyze GHG tracking and engagement though the organization.
