The month we celebrate CAP Collaborative 2024 implementation successes with the release of our 2024 Annual Report. 2024 marks the first full year of the implementation phase of Routt County’s Climate Action Plan and we are proud of the meaningful progress made on a number of the 40 recommended actions. From the 70+ community members with technical expertise volunteering to serve on CAP working groups to families planting trees along the Yampa River to governments integrating climate considerations into their decision-making, it is clear that climate action takes a collective effort. The 2024 Annual Report highlights successes across the CAP’s five key sectors — energy, transportation, waste, land use and economy.
The CAP Collaborative is also excited to announce the first round of applications to the Routt County Climate Action Collaborative Fund is now open! 501c3 nonprofit organizations, government and special entities located within Routt County are invited to apply. Projects are eligible for funding if they support the implementation of the CAP and contribute to carbon emission reduction. Maximum awards will be $25,000. The fund and application sit at the Yampa Valley Community Foundation, and applications are due April 16, 2025 by 11:30 p.m. Please direct grant project questions to info@routtclimateaction.com and technical portal application questions to YVCF (camille@yvcf.org).
As always, catch up on the latest news and actions you can take across our five priority sectors. We invite you to sign up for our newsletter if you haven’t already and share with your family and friends to keep the climate conversation going.
