Leading bold justice-centered climate action in Denver’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resiliency
I am so proud of the team that came together to write a transformational proposal to US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant. Today, Denver Regional Council of Governments was awarded $199.7M for building decarbonization and workforce development. Thank you to everyone who was a part of making this happen! And congratulations to the State of Colorado for its award of $130M for statewide carbon pollution reduction!
