SECURE A CLEAN FUTURE FOR NEW MEXICO BY PASSING A BOLD FRAMEWORK BILL IN 2023 FOR BUILDING A ZERO-EMISSION ECONOMY BY 2050

We are at a turning point in New Mexico. Our climate is warming and changing at a pace beyond many other states, bringing massive wildfires, post-fire flooding, aridification, drying reservoirs and rivers, and disruption of centuries of traditional land-use management. These changes impact not only our communities, but also our wildlife and the larger ecosystem we are all a part of.

What's the next step? To combat the climate crisis we're facing, the State Legislature must support New Mexico’s clean future by passing a bold framework bill in 2023 for transitioning to an emissions-free economy by 2050.

This transition to a zero-emissions economy in the next 30 years will require direct coordination with the communities most impacted by climate pollution, like low-income, rural, and/or communities of color, to help ensure a just economic transition is also fully realized.

That's why we need you. Urge your State Legislators to commit to supporting a bold framework bill in the 2023 legislative session that builds a zero-emission economy by 2050.

CLIMATE ACTION NOW NEW MEXICO
LEGISLATOR PLEDGE

We are asking New Mexico State Legislators to commit to supporting a net zero framework bill this legislative session by signing the following pledge:

New Mexico's diverse and culturally-rich communities have a long history of resilience and adapting in times of great challenge, embracing obstacles through innovation, creativity, and determination.

Standing together, we can take action to create a New Mexico with sustainable, good-paying jobs for New Mexicans that will support families and communities across the state; a diversified thriving economy that works for all New Mexicans and celebrates the uniqueness of our state and our communities; and resilient ecosystems and communities that are climate ready to counter and adapt to the challenges our future holds. All of these things will help create a future that our children can be proud of.

To get there, we need to take the next step. The legislature needs to take climate action now to commit the state to this vision by transitioning to an emissions-free economy by 2050.

The Pledge: I pledge to support New Mexico's renewable energy future with policy action in 2023 to build a statewide zero-emission economy by 2050.

OUR PARTNERS

NEW MEXICO IS AT A TURNING POINT

STANDING TOGETHER, WE CAN TAKE BOLD, EFFECTIVE ACTION TO CREATE A NEW MEXICO WITH:

Sustainable, good-paying jobs for New Mexicans that will support families and communities across the state

We will invest in careers focused on New Mexico’s natural strengths, like wind and solar energy, cleaning up oil, natural gas, and mining sites to protect the environment and community health. These are jobs that work for families in the long-run and can provide the stable income needed for us to thrive.
It's time to promote career opportunities that support a workforce that is just as diverse and culturally-rich as our state.

This means providing training resources that reach and serve all communities, both rural and urban, that honor all the interconnected roles necessary for a resilient state. There will be new job opportunities in technology and innovation, education, construction, agriculture, and more.

A diversified thriving economy that works for all New Mexicans and celebrates the uniqueness of our state and our communities

We can create an economy that celebrates the ways that we connect in our communities without harming our health.

This means modernized energy generation and transportation that doesn’t pollute our air or cause respiratory illnesses like asthma.

This also means making sure that our state’s businesses and corporations take responsibility for eliminating their air pollution, creating safer and healthier environments for our families, workers, and communities statewide.

Resilient ecosystems and communities that are prepared to counter and adapt to future environmental challenges

Building a rural economy focused on honoring New Mexico’s natural heritage, like restoring our lands and watersheds to protect them for our future generations in an era of changing climate, and careers stewarding our growing outdoor recreation industry that is bringing new energy to rural communities like Silver City and Farmington.
Making sure that we are using our natural resources wisely, like our drinking and groundwater, and planning for the future.
Acting to protect our state’s vulnerable wildlife - critical to the vitality of our ecosystems and communities - before it’s too late.
