A reason for hope: Check out our Community Climate Map!

Over the last several months we’ve seen the rollback of programs designed to help Wyoming communities adapt to a changing climate, reduce emissions, lower utility bills, and improve local infrastructure. We’ve also seen targets placed on renewable energy and the very science of climate change.

This news has been difficult to stomach. But there’s reason to be hopeful. That’s because local communities around the state are stepping up to address the challenges ahead.

We put together a new Community Climate Map to highlight the work that local Wyoming groups are doing to make their communities more sustainable and resilient. We invite you to take a look around.

The science of climate change is real, and Wyoming is already seeing impacts play out — from more intense fires, to lower snowpack, water scarcity, and worsening air quality.

In the absence of stronger national leadership, now is a critical moment for community-based action. Groups and individuals around the state are already making a difference. They inspire us — and we hope they will inspire you to reach out and get involved in your community.

Not seeing your community on the map, or have questions about how to get more involved? Let us know. Our team is committed to updating this resource and helping you get connected to those on the ground doing the hard work. draft assessment needs.
