Colorado's natural and working lands (NWL) include agricultural croplands and rangelands, grasslands, shrublands, forests, urban greenspaces, wetlands, and riparian areas. NWL are both sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution, including emissions from wildfires and agricultural and forestry operations, and act as carbon sinks by holding or sequestering carbon in plants and soils. Colorado's GHG Pollution Reduction Roadmap sets a target of reducing emissions (or increasing sequestration) on NWL by 1.0 million metric tons (MMT) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) by 2030 from a 2005 baseline, specifically from agricultural lands. This strategic plan presents priority strategies, with details on implementation provided in each respective section of this report., State agencies involved in creating the document: Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Colorado Department of Agriculture, Colorado State Forest Service, Colorado Natural Heritage Program, and Colorado Water Conservation Board., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed July 2025)
