Routt County Climate Action Collaborative accepting community board applications
Suzie Romig/Steamboat Pilot & Today The Routt County Climate Action Collaborative is accepting community applications for its Board of Directors through Thursday, Nov. 16.
The Routt County Climate Action Collaborative was formed in 2021 to create an intergovernmental, organizational structure to help facilitate regional decision making and support the implementation of the Routt County Climate Action Plan (CAP).
This past year, the board oversaw five Working Groups (Energy, Transportation, Waste, Land Use and Economy) tasked with identifying and prioritizing key actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Routt County, and to enhance overall quality of life and long-term resiliency.
Forty board-approved recommendations were finalized this summer, and the collaborative is now in the implementation phase of the CAP process.
The Collaborative Board consists of nine members, including four community members and a representative from each of the local government partners — Routt County, City of Steamboat Springs, and the Towns of Hayden, Oak Creek and Yampa.
Community representatives shall reflect diverse geographic and sector representation from across the county, and climate plan interest and experience.
There is currently a three-year community seat available. The deadline for submitting community applications is Thursday, Nov. 16. Appointment will start Jan. 1.
