How do I get involved?
The Resilient Futures Initiative cannot be achieved without your input.
We invite you to shape this project and our ensure the outcomes reflect the needs and priorities of our community. Get involved, stay engaged, and let’s create a resilient future together!
During December 2024, the project team solicited applicants for the community task force to ensure frontline communities are represented throughout the process.
In January 2025, the project gained momentum with two Virtual Kickoff events to introduce the initiative to the broader community. A Climate Pollution Inventory Learning Session was also provided to give an overview of the results of the 2023 Climate Pollution inventory. This will also be the time when the official Community Task Force members will be announced.
From February to April 2025, the focus will shift to public outreach, with a series of community events, presentations, listening sessions, and working groups designed to gather input from a broad range of participants. You can schedule a presentation or request a meeting below. A Community Survey will be launched during this time to ensure even wider engagement and to capture feedback on community priorities and concerns. Additionally, Community Profiles will be published to highlight local challenges and opportunities that will inform the planning process.
Request a presentation or workshop with our project team. We offer to host focus groups with local organizations to introduce the project and identify strategies to improve resiliency across Central New Mexico.
Between May and July 2025, the project team will host Sector-Specific Workshops focusing on critical areas such as buildings, transportation, and circularity. These workshops will bring together technical stakeholders, Community Task Force members, and the general public to develop and prioritize actionable strategies to address sector-specific challenges and opportunities.
In July and August 2025, plan development will begin in earnest, consolidating input from the outreach and workshops into a cohesive set of goals and strategies. Public engagement will continue throughout this period to keep the community involved and ensure their voices remain central to the planning process.
During September and October 2025, the draft plan will be released for public review and comment. Outreach efforts will intensify to solicit feedback, including a follow-up Community Survey to capture additional input. This phase will provide a final opportunity for the community to weigh in on the draft plan and its proposed strategies.
In November 2025, the plan will be finalized, incorporating feedback from the public comment period and ensuring the strategies reflect the community’s priorities. The project team will submit the plan to the EPA by December 1st, 2025. This comprehensive and inclusive process is intended to create a plan that effectively reduces climate pollution while reflecting the voices and needs of frontline communities.
From January 2025 to June 2027, the project team will utilize any remaining grant resources to assist with plan facilitation and implementation.
