We Support Climate Leadership

Colorado is in a Climate Emergency.

We demand action.

I agree with the Colorado Farm & Food Alliance that protecting food security should be a priority which means we must demand bold and transformative climate action - at the federal, state, and local levels.

Climate change poses one of the gravest threats to the world’s water and food supplies, including to our farms and ranches here in Colorado. And agriculture and our food systems are also a substantial contributor to the problem of climate pollution.

The community of scientists that studies these issues is growing more adamant about the urgent need for major action on climate change and the narrow window in which we have to act to avoid even more extreme effects from global heating.
 
The climate emergency is already here, and we must adapt and prepare for what is coming. And our farms and food systems must also be part of the solution to address it. We must make our farms and food systems more resilient, and we must be smarter about how we use resources and run our businesses so we stop making the problem worse.

Therefore, we support policies that help rural communities, farms and other parts of the food supply chain to adapt to, prepare for and mitiage climate change.

Since burning fossil fuels is the leading cause of climate pollution, we support policies that quickly help us shift how we power our farms, ranches, homes, and businesses.

We support practices that benefit the climate, improve land and water health and build system resilience across the food system, from farms to tables, and we oppose policies that work counter to those goals.  

Sincerely, the undersigned,
