Albuquerque's 2021 Climate Action Plan and Climate Resiliency Action Plan set citywide greenhouse gas reduction targets, build heat and drought resilience, and direct departments to integrate climate goals into operations and capital planning.
Mayor Keller's 2021 Climate Action Plan commits Albuquerque to net-zero municipal emissions by 2030 and community-wide carbon neutrality by 2050. The companion Climate Resiliency Action Plan addresses Sandia-area heat island risk, prolonged drought driven by Rio Grande snowpack decline, and wildfire smoke. Departments must report progress annually through the Sustainability Office. The plan integrates with the IDO and ABCWUA water conservation rules. It is policy-level guidance rather than a permitting trigger, but capital projects are scored against climate criteria during budget review.
No direct civil penalty. Non-compliant capital projects may be deprioritized or denied climate-action grant funding routed through the Sustainability Office.
