COLORADO: Impacted Coloradans are sending a clear message to Colorado’s Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and Canada Pension Plan (CPP), highlighting harmful fossil fuel investments that are directly and adversely impacting local communities’ health and safety. This week, impacted community members released two videos with messages for both PERA and CPP. 

Last year, legislation was passed in Colorado to begin addressing Colorado’s contribution to the climate crisis and curbing emissions that not only contribute to climate change, but also adversely impact air quality and contribute pollution harmful to respiratory health. The proposed Colorado GHG Reduction Roadmap released on Sept. 30th is a start, but to achieve the goals of HB 19-1261 and eventually more aggressive goals that climate science and justice demand, more specific policies and enforcement will be needed.
