Following the call of City Resolution R-19-187, the 19-member Climate Action Task Force and City staff worked over 10 months to develop the 2021 Albuquerque Climate Action Plan (CAP). The process to develop this new plan sought to address the concerns of frontline community members, while engaging the entire community of Albuquerque through Covid-safe public outreach. Below you can find relevant links to the CAP, and the resources capturing the major milestones of the planning process.

Group Agreements

  • Respect Shared Learning and Teaching- Each task force member and guest brings considerable knowledge and experience to teach and learn from one another. Please hold space for diverse points of view.
  • Respect Time- During discussions and Q&A we want as many task force members as are interested to participate. Please consider the time or the moderator will assist in sharing the time.
  • Respect Each Voice- Everyone on the task force is committed to climate action and brings diverse perspectives on how to achieve goals. There is strength in the depth and breadth of knowledge across the task force. Listen well and limit multi-tasking during the meetings and side conversations in the chat.
  • Respect Consensus- For the duration of the task force, we will be working toward a consensus and honoring dissent. The consultants and the City will limit comments about the task force in the media to process until the task force has completed has completed a draft document for public comment and members will do the same. By allowing the focus to be on process, time is afforded this group to explore and achieve common ground as the substance of the plan comes together over time.
  • Respect Engagement and Transparency- New Mexico First (NMF) will share notes from each meeting with participants and the City. NMF and the City are committed to creating time for public comment toward the end of issue meetings. Time will be limited to accommodate as many voices as possible within time limits. If comments are unrelated to climate action, the time will be passed to the next person in the public gallery section of zoom.
