HOME OUR MISSION NEW MEXICO PROGRESS New Page Search Results NUESTRA MISIÓN ASEGURAR UN FUTURO LIMPIO PARA NUEVO MÉXICO APROBANDO UN AUDAZ PROYECTO DE LEY MARCO EN 2023 PARA CONSTRUIR UNA ECONOMÍA DE EMISIONES CERO PARA 2050 EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS New Mexico’s warming climate has led to hotter classrooms, with summer and early fall temperatures hovering in unsafe ranges. In 2023, Albuquerque schools reported classroom temperatures over 80°F, well above the state code. Parents in Las Cruces also expressed serious concerns when students were routinely exposed to 100+ degree heat while traveling on school buses with inadequate ventilation or no air conditioning. High temperatures also overstress already aging school HVAC systems that struggle to keep temperatures in the comfort zone. Schools without air conditioning, which includes 70% of Albuquerque public schools, rely on evaporative coolers, which are less effective at higher temperatures. ​ Research has found that increased temperatures negatively impact student performance on tests and disproportionately impact students of color and low-income families. Additionally, repeated exposure to heat increases stress levels, which can exacerbate mental health conditions, lower student attention spans and shorten tempers. Exposure to wildfire particulate pollution may also increase children’s risk for autism and ADHD and result in poorer school performance. All of these factors will also lead to an increase in student and classroom disruptions, which ultimately lower students’ academic performance. Read More Now FIRST RESPONDERS & PUBLIC HEALTH Climate change, and the resulting heat waves and temperature extremes, are already leading to increases in heat-related incidents requiring emergency and hospital intervention. Heat illnesses can include dehydration, heat rash, sunburn, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Populations most vulnerable to heat-related illnesses include Indigenous and other communities of color, low-income families, pregnant people, people experiencing homelessness, LGBTQ+ people, youth, the elderly and outdoor workers, who all frequently lack access to treatment, cooling facilities and other resources. Extreme temperatures also increase the likelihood of death and illness due to heart issues, diabetes and respiratory issues. Of those impacted, communities that experience disproportionate discrimination and racism are often less likely to be able to afford or seek medical treatment for health problems, even acute issues, resulting in conditions increasing in severity or going untreated. Asthma and respiratory illnesses also increase in communities with high levels of air pollution or particulates, including car emissions and other climate pollutants. Read More Now RURAL COMMUNITIES Rural communities and low-income communities bear a disproportionate burden from the climate crisis. They frequently have fewer resources and less infrastructure than urban areas and are at the epicenter of the “wildland-urban interface,” where structures and other human development meet wild, undeveloped vegetation. Furthermore, rural communities’ economies are often connected to tourism and rely on the health of the land for quality of life and revenue. All of these factors make them vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. ​ ​New Mexico is recognized as one of the best states in the nation for pecan, chile pepper, milk, cheese and onion production. In 2022, agricultural production contributed over $3.7 billion to the state’s economy. New Mexico’s signature crop, the chile pepper, is also particularly vulnerable to high temperatures and heatwaves. Chile and pecans are also water-heavy crops, and increased drought further stresses irrigation resources. As crops become stressed, the likelihood of pest and disease outbreaks increases, threatening entire farms, local economies and community food security. Read More Now OIL & GAS COMMUNITIES According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (2023), New Mexico is the second-largest oil-producing state in the nation. Most of the state’s oil and gas production originates from two regions: the San Juan Basin in northwestern New Mexico and the Permian Basin in southeastern New Mexico. The San Juan Basin also overlaps with the Navajo Nation, the largest Native nation in the United States. As a fenceline and frontline community, Navajo citizens contend with all the burdens that arise from an oil and gas basin. The Western Environmental Law Center reports that more than 91% of the land in the San Juan Basin has been leased to the oil and gas industry by the Bureau of Land Management, with approximately 40,000 wells drilled to date. Citizens of the Navajo Nation are twice as likely as New Mexico residents to live within one-half mile of an oil and gas facility, and communities near active oil and gas wells experience acute health impacts due to air and water pollution. In fact, the American Lung Association (2024) gave San Juan County an “F” grade for poor air quality (smog) in their 2024 State of the Air report. Read More Now WILDLIFE The cumulative impact of decades of extractive industry and climate change effects in the southwest have placed our wildlife species and ecosystems at grave risk. The planet is now experiencing a global extinction crisis. The 2022 Living Planet Report from the World Wildlife Fund found an average decline of 69% of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles since 1970, placing the future of our global ecosystem in jeopardy. This crisis is being driven by a combination of unchecked human development, poor habitat and forest governing practices, extractive industry, habitat destruction and the impacts of climate change. In New Mexico alone, the Department of Game and Fish State Wildlife Action Plan has 274 species in greatest conservation need. ​ Changing landscapes due to drought, pests, disease, food scarcity and wildfire have also forced wildlife, including game species and birds, to migrate northward. Wildlife migration paths and habitats are often fragmented due to development, making it difficult for some species to adapt. Furthermore, many species cannot move or move fast enough to adapt. Read More Now OUTDOOR RECREATION Climate change will directly and indirectly impact all outdoor enthusiasts, including hunters, anglers, hikers and birdwatchers, through impacts on wildlife, ecosystems, public health and public access to the outdoors. The New Mexico Outdoor Recreation Division (2023) reports that outdoor recreation accounts for $2.4 billion in added value and revenue for the state and provides 28,000 jobs. However, heat, drought and the resulting impacts on wildlife and natural resources will decrease the window through which tourists and New Mexicans can enjoy the outdoor economy , impact revenues and directly harm the health of recreationists and the economic contribution of the outdoor recreation industry. Elevated temperatures and heat waves will bring an increased risk for outdoor recreation heat-related illnesses, such as heat stroke, and a higher risk for injuries due to heat-induced fatigue and disorientation. The New Mexico Department of Health reported nearly 1,000 hospital visits in 2023 due to heat-related illnesses, with a majority occurring during the summer’s hottest month, July (New Mexico Department of Health, n.d.). An article published by New Mexico Epidemiology estimates that heat-related illnesses are likely to double by 2030 (Woods et al., 2020).

HOME OUR MISSION NEW MEXICO PROGRESS New Page Search Results THE STATE OF CLIMATE ACTION IN NEW MEXICO: A CALL TO ACTION LOGROS DE LA ACCIÓN POR EL CLIMA DEL ESTADO Y TRABAJO FUTURO READ THE CLIMATE ACTION REPORT FULL REPORT ABOUT THE REPORT New Mexico is facing a climate emergency. Its impacts reach deeply into the daily lives of the state’s communities. Decades of extractive industry and climate change impacts in the southwest have put our wildlife species, ecosystems and communities at grave risk. The planet is now experiencing a global extinction crisis. Catastrophic wildfires, flooding, drought, and heat are uprooting communities and harming already marginalized people, especially Indigenous, communities of color, rural, low-income, LGBTQ+, people experiencing homelessness, pregnant persons, elderly and youth. Communities living adjacent to or working in the oil and gas industry also suffer from poor air quality, water contamination, increased illness, poor working conditions, and more. This disproportionately impacts immigrant, Indigenous, rural and LGBTQ+ communities the most. ​ Working together to address these challenges, New Mexico can act to create a world our children can thrive in and be proud to call home. We must act boldly to address the climate crisis by transitioning to a zero climate emissions economy and involving the most impacted and marginalized communities in the process... READ MORE STATE PROGRESS HIGHLIGHTS 2019 2022 Executive Order Addressing Climate Change and Energy Waste Prevention (2019-003). ​ State commits to 100% carbon neutral electricity by 2045 via the Energy Transition Act (SB 489). ​ $200,000 budget allocation to Department of Workforce Solutions to conduct a study to develop a workforce and economic development roadmap to integrate underrepresented communities into the clean energy economy.

CLIMATE ACTION FRAMEWORK Pass comprehensive climate action framework legislation that includes establishing sector-based climate pollution reduction targets in statute. It is critical that policies and rules ensure New Mexico is able to lead the nation in climate action and place the state on a path to transition to a zero-emission economy by mid-century. Pass and codify comprehensive climate action framework legislation encompassing a zero-emission economy-wide climate pollution reduction goal. ​​ Ensure that agencies have the necessary authority and capacity to carry out monitoring and verification of GHG emission sources and the progress of efforts to eliminate them. ​​ Establish capacity within state agencies to create and administer a working group to quantify economy-wide climate emissions and reconcile the inconsistencies among current state analyses and the work done by the EDF and others. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: IMPLEMENT STATE CLIMATE ACTION PLANS With or without climate framework legislation, the state must work to ensure that its Climate Action Plans incorporate the components of such a framework, that there is a plan for any necessary rulemaking, and that as much as possible is converted into statute where relevant. Develop near- and long-term emission projections. ​ Establish and implement equitable and sustainable sector-based economic development strategies to reduce emissions across the entire economy. ​ Provide an analysis of benefits from emission reductions, including a workforce planning analysis. ​ Develop and implement plans to leverage federal funding. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: JUST TRANSITION A just transition cannot be a checkbox as New Mexico builds a zero-emissions economy. It requires concrete, actionable steps based on equitable and inclusive discussions with New Mexico’s diverse communities. Any just transition solutions must also be directly shaped by the communities most impacted, including communities of color, LGBTQ+, low-income, border and fossil fuel communities. This is imperative for true, long-lasting, transformational change. Prioritize fossil fuel communities for entry into workforce training, apprenticeship and other economic development programs to create new career pathways for transitioning workers. ​ Pursue policies or administrative action for holistic job training and opportunities for rural communities and communities of color to build a just, renewable energy economy. ​ Establish a universal basic income for fossil fuel workers impacted by transition. ​ Develop plans for state revenue replacement during the transition that includes equity in New Mexico’s tax system. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: Photo credit: NM Political Report CLIMATE GOVERNANCE Executive orders and rulemakings can easily be changed or eliminated by subsequent administrations. For this reason, it is essential to codify New Mexico’s recent climate progress in statute. Agencies must also be well-resourced to drive climate pollution reductions across all sectors of the state's economy. Prioritize fossil fuel communities for entry into workforce training, apprenticeship and other economic development programs to create new career pathways for transitioning workers. ​ Pursue policies or administrative action for holistic job training and opportunities for rural communities and communities of color to build a just, renewable energy economy. ​ Establish a universal basic income for fossil fuel workers impacted by transition. ​ Develop plans for state revenue replacement during the transition that includes equity in New Mexico’s tax system. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY New Mexico is the second-largest oil-producing state in the nation. However, the industry is also a significant source of air, land, and water pollution that harms communities and our climate. New Mexico also has a backlog of abandoned oil and gas wells that continue to pollute and need to be addressed. Reform the Oil and Gas Act, including adequate financial assurance for full site reclamation, the reduction or elimination of unnecessary subsidies, and setbacks to protect public health. ​ Ensure full compliance with the New Mexico's venting and flaring Ozone Precursor Rules. ​ Transition away from fossil fuel projects; this includes hydrogen unless it is executed within the seven principles outlined i n the organizational letter to Governor Lujan Grisham (Western Environmental Law Center et al., 2021). ​ Establish statewide criteria for oil and gas setbacks to protect vulnerable communities from the impacts of the industry. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: ELECTRIFICATION AND EFFICIENCY Energy efficiency and renewable energy cut consumer costs while decreasing energy usage - a win-win for everyone. However, robust electrification and efficiency must touch every sector, from transportation to housing and schools, and more. Solutions must also be accessible to low-income families and communities. Ensure full implementation of the Community Solar Act. ​ Solarize government buildings and schools in New Mexico. ​ Ensure rapid and full development of zero-emission vehicle charging capacity for personal and work vehicles, as well as public transit and school bus fleets. ​ ​Ensure the new state building energy efficiency codes are regularly updated and enforced. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCE New Mexico's communities are directly impacted by climate change, from public health to disasters, and more. Among those most impacted include those already marginalized: low-income, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, unhoused people, pregnant persons, youth, elderly and communities of color, The state must prioritize strategies that support, resource, and prepare these communities for the changing needs of the future. Implement a surface water protection program to protect waters from pollution threats. ​ Invest in green spaces and tree cover, which will lower temperatures and provide shade. ​ Center and actively mitigate any wildlife impacts of renewable energy siting and development when selecting locations for renewable energy projects. ​ Identify and invest in community-centered resources and services for marginalized communities, including healthcare services, cooling centers, housing infrastructure and more. ​ EXAMPLES INCLUDE: DEMOCRACY PROTECTION A majority of New Mexicans want their leaders to move quickly and aggressively to address climate change. When New Mexicans are able to vote in large numbers and their elected representatives are responsive to voters’ priorities, we can achieve our climate goals. We must protect democracy and ensure all New Mexican voters have access to the ballot box and the ability to make informed decisions. Modernize the state legislature, including providing salaries, staffing and adequate compensation for state legislators, which will enable more people of color, parents, LGBTQ+ individuals and low-income communities to step into policy spaces. ​ Ensure all people have access to climate change, climate science, environmental justice, civil rights and diversity literature in public libraries. ​ Ensure students are being taught about climate change, climate science, environmental justice, civil rights and diversity in schools to educate the next generation of decision-makers and leaders.
