City of Steamboat Springs asked to lead on climate action

Colorado is emerging as a leader in climate action, and communities as big as Denver and as small as Fraser–and many ski towns–have committed to work on climate resilience and mitigation.

At the City Council meeting on February 27, YVSC will be presenting options for the City to take formal action to fight climate change locally and build economic and community resilience for impacts due to climate change. YVSC is asking the City to sign on to the Compact of Colorado Communities.

YVSC is scheduled to be on the agenda at 5:30 p.m. We encourage businesses and residents (of all ages) to speak during public comment.
