Boulder has made climate progress, but must accelerate emissions cuts to hit its 2030 deadline
Boulder, Colorado, has updated its Climate Action Plan to accelerate emissions reductions, aiming for a 70% cut below 2018 levels by 2030. The city has already surpassed a previous 50% reduction target by 2024 but needs to double its pace to meet the new goal. Strategies include cleaner electricity, building electrification, and transportation reforms, with partnerships involving Xcel Energy and neighboring communities.
