Imagine a resilient, sustainable and thriving future.

Beginning in 2024, the Larimer County Climate Smart Future Ready Plan [CSFR] was launched, a five-year initiative designed to confront some of the escalating risks associated with deteriorating air quality, changing weather conditions, and increased natural disasters. The plan is a component of the Larimer County 2024 – 2028 Strategic Plan https://www.larimer.gov/performance-budget-and-strategy/strategicplan/2024-2028.

In the last year, the CSFR initiative has accomplished many goals, made possible through the collaboration with many community partners. The first Climate Smart Future Ready Annual Report https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/a0256fdd661c402a8a9556eb9ef0f70c to the community has been published and is now available to highlight those successes.

The report highlights seven focus areas to help our community improve climate resiliency and become future-ready, involving 50 community partners, 10 Larimer County departments, and 18 action teams.

In the first year, the 18 action teams have linked greenhouse gas emissions and protecting environmental health, and working toward economic stability while enhancing social fairness and protection in the following focus areas.

• Unifying Solutions
• Built Environment
• Circular Economy
• Business and Employment
• Natural Environment
• Agriculture
• Mobility

The CSFR plan, now strives toward the next steps for our community. More about Climate Smart Future Ready https://www.larimer.gov/sustainability/climate-smart-future-ready
