Federal climate policy is the set of actions taken by the U.S. federal government to address and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Climate policy includes policies to mitigate climate change (reducing greenhouse gas emissions and removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, so that the climate does not change as much or as quickly); and to adapt to climate change (helping communities and businesses to build resilience and avoid the worst effects of warmer temperatures, extreme weather, and other impacts).
Avoiding and reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) into the atmosphere to prevent further warming of the planet.
San Miguel County created the Upper San Miguel Watershed Wildfire Mitigation Collaborative in 2021 to discuss wildfire mitigation in the Upper San Miguel Watershed.
West Region Wildfire Council (WRWC) is now leading this group's efforts to discuss and evaluate projects in San Miguel County. WRWC also has assisted San Miguel County with its https://cowildfire.org/cwpps/ Community Wide Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and will be facilitating the update of our https://cowildfire.org/home/san-miguel-county/ 2009 Plan.
