In August 2021, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterrez, warned policy makers the International Panel on Climate Change report is nothing less than a code red for humanity; and that the only way to prevent exceeding the internationally agreed 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels of global heating is by urgently stepping up our efforts and pursuing the most ambitious path.

As a policy maker, how will you help Taos to do our part in working with the whole community to form aggressive and effective policies that address this existential emergency immediately to ensure a livable future for coming generations of Taos children.
