Chihuahuan Desert Climate Action Plan

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, and that’s certainly true of the Chihuahuan Desert region with its desert rain smell, daily sunset show, and our special kind of people, the kind that considers the ones they love before they consider themselves. As we said before, climate change affects all of us.

OUR PLAN WILL BE TAILORED TO US, to our unique culture and our specific challenges and opportunities. The plan is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2025, and as we develop the plan, we will be asking you to join us in building it.

CREATING OUR REGIONAL CLIMATE ACTION PLAN WILL REQUIRE YOU TO THINK BEYOND YOURSELF.
