CLIMATE ACTION: OUR FARMS & FOOD SECURITY DEPENDS ON IT
Time to Lead on Rural Climate Action
Climate change threatens our farms, ranches and water supplies - but the counties, communities and towns of the Gunnison Basin also have the ingredients to be national climate leaders. 

Climate change poses one of the gravest threats to the world’s food supplies, including to our farms and ranches here in western Colorado - as documented in the Colorado Farm & Food Alliance report: Gunnison Basin-Ground Zero in a Climate Emergency. 

Our farms, our food system and the economic activity they support, all rely on a sustainable and reliable climate. And agriculture and our food system both also make substantial contributions to the problem driving this crisis: Greenhouse-Gas pollution. 

Join with us in urging elected leaders to support policies that shift how we power our farms, ranches, homes, and businesses and that expand practices on farms and in land-use to boost ecosystem services to remove carbon pollution and build greater climate resiliency. 

The Colorado Farm & Food Alliance is asking Coloradans, especially those living in the counties that are part of the Gunnison River watershed, to join with us in demanding climate action at all levels of government. 
"All-Hands" Moment Demands Leadership - Who Will Answer the Call?

Dear Colorado Elected Official:

I agree with the Colorado Farm & Food Alliance that protecting our food system, farms, and water supply means that we must act now to address climate change, and I add my name to this statement:

We, the undersigned, call on elected officials to join with their colleagues at all levels of government to prioritize immediate climate action across all their agencies, and across all sectors of the economy.  

We are calling on governments and elected officials at all levels-from small towns to cities, from rural counties to the federal government to take all necessary action to boost rural climate resilience and mitigations including conservation-smart agriculture, community-scaled renewables, and watershed protection and restoration. 

There is no more time to delay. Our future in the U.S. Southwest demands action from policymakers today. We urge elected leaders to stand for the future and with their constituents to take action now to:  

1. Reduce and eliminate carbon pollution, across all sectors with utmost urgency. 
2. Adapt critical systems to prepare for climate change already here and worsening.
3. Protect, boost and restore natural systems that remove carbon from, and store it out of, the atmosphere.

Therefore, we join together in this statement to compel you as elected officials and the governments on which you serve for the people, to mount an urgent, coordinated and "all-hands" response to the Climate Emergency now bearing down on the Gunnison Basin and the world.

For Colorado,
