Climate Change Threatens
Our Environment & Our Future
Climate change is driven by greenhouse gases that cause severe weather, prolonged droughts, glacial melt, and rising sea levels.
In Pitkin County, buildings alone contribute over 56% of greenhouse gas emissions.
That's why at CORE, our focus is on the built environment. Reducing carbon emissions from this sector is crucial for impactful climate action, and we all must work together if we're going to make a positive impact on the future of our community.
