Road Map to Zero

The Challenge

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the State of Colorado, Boulder County, and the City of Boulder have all set greenhouse gas pollution reduction goals of 50% by 2030 and 90% by 2050. In order to avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis, every organization and individual must participate. The good news is that business community is well positioned to be leaders in turning this challenge into an opportunity.

The Vision

A significant number of businesses have become inspired and are on their way to be carbon pollution free. Many are also actively working with their own employees to inspire and empower them to take similar action in their personal lives. Through making these efforts highly visible in the community, this leadership by businesses inspires a larger community movement that significantly accelerates the adoption of a carbon pollution free lifestyle.

The Road Map

This road map demonstrates the steps that your business can take to become more energy efficient, save money, and reduce your climate pollution to zero. It is a clear and simple way to understand where you are currently and what the major steps are on the journey. A second goal of this project is to share work businesses are doing with the community to inspire other businesses and individuals to take action, both locally and across the country.
