DENVER (AP) — Colorado lawmakers have promised more on climate than their policies can deliver, according to an analysis by the Environmental Defense Fund and Boulder-based Western Resource Advocates.
The organizations commissioned the analysis by the consulting firm M.J. Bradley & Associates, which addressed Colorado’s clean-air laws and the Climate Action Plan lawmakers passed last year.
Colorado will have to do more, environmental advocates said after the report’s release on Tuesday.
“It’s going to take hard work, but Colorado has an opportunity to lead on climate, while growing our economy and preserving our way of life,” Stacy Tellinghuisen, senior climate policy analyst at Western Resource Advocates, said in a statement.
