PAST COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS

The New Mexico Environment Department was awarded a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant in July 2023 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to support statewide climate planning. This effort involves three key milestones:

Priority Climate Action Plan	Completed March 2023
Comprehensive Climate Action Plan	Due December 2025 (Current Objective)
Status Update	Due Mid-2027

We believe that addressing climate change requires a collective effort. We encourage you to explore this website to learn more about our plans, find opportunities to get involved, and share your ideas. Together, we can create a healthier, more sustainable New Mexico for generations to come.

Priority Climate Action Plan

The New Mexico Environment Department and the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department submitted New Mexico’s Priority Climate Action Plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on March 1, 2024. The Priority Climate Action Plan outlines key actions the state needs to take to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while providing air quality, health, workforce, and economic benefits to the state’s communities. The state agencies worked collaboratively to develop the Priority Climate Action Plan and built on extensive input collected from communities, workforce entities, and Pueblos, Tribes and Native Nations

The Priority Climate Action Plan and appendices are available below:

• New Mexico Priority Climate Action Plan
  • Appendix K.1 – Inventory and Quantification Methodology
  • Appendix K.2 – Emission Reduction Calculations
  • Appendix K.3 – Quality Assurance Project Plan 
  • Appendix L – New Mexico Census Tract Block Groups Identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as Low-Income/ Disadvantaged Communities.
