Energy ofαces implement programs that promote new energy technologies and environmental ofαces enforce regulations to protect land, air, and water., "This e-book was created by staff at the Center for the New Energy Economy, Senior Policy Advisers Tom Plant and Jeff Lyng and Research Associates Katherine Heriot Hoffer, Chris Edmonds and Jane Culkin ..." --Page 4., Includes bibliographical references., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed October 2018)
The Colorado office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), has been charged with developing a climate adaptation strategy for BLM lands within the state. The Colorado Natural Heritage Program conducted climate change vulnerability assessments of plant and animal species, and terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems ("targets") within a time frame of mid-21st century. Our assessments 1) evaluate the potential impact of future climate conditions on both species and ecosystems by identifying the degree of change expected between current and future climate conditions within the Colorado range of the target, and 2) address the potential impact of non-climate factors that can affect the resilience of the target to climate change, or which are likely to have a greater impact due to climate change., "December 2015.", Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed January 2021)
The 5 million-acre San Juan Region lies in southwest Colorado and is considered part of the Four Corners area. The Colorado Natural Heritage Program tracks 122 plant species within this region. Recently published climate models for the Southern San Juan Region project a median decrease in May precipitation across southwestern Colorado and a 4.3⁰ F increase in average annual temperatures, suggesting drought may become problematic for these species in the future. As of 2014, we have conducted Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments for 60 of the tracked plant species known from the region, primarily focused on federally listed or agency sensitive species., "May 2014.", "Report Prepared for: Tres Rios Bureau of Land Management & San Juan U.S. Forest Service.", Online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed January 2021)
