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:

​

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.

​

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.
