Description
Climate change wasn't on the public's radar in 1995, when Mary Taylor Young and her husband bought their piece of the wild in the Colorado Rockies. They built a cabin, set up a trail of bluebird nest boxes, and began a nature journal of observations. Her twenty-five year journal, she realized, was a record of climate change, happening not on an Antarctic ice sheet but in their own natural neighborhood and echoed in everyone's backyard.

The State of Colorado aims to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by at least 26% by 2025, 50% by 2030, and 90% by 2050 relative to 2005 emissions levels. Hydrogen is identified as a potentially important low-carbon fuel for beyond 2030, especially to reduce emissions in hard-to-electrify sectors. This roadmap identifies opportunities, barriers and recommended actions for the deployment of low-carbon hydrogen in the state of Colorado over the next...

The current El Niño event is very strong, and is expected to affect weather around the globe, and in Colorado, through next spring. The impacts of El Niño are more complex over Colorado than other parts of the West. Strong El Niño conditions improve the odds for wetter-than-normal conditions in most parts of Colorado, especially in fall and spring. However, strong El Niño conditions also tend to bring dry mid-winters to our North-Central mountains....

Colorado's climate has warmed in recent decades, and climate models unanimously project this warming trend will continue into the future. Colorado experiences numerous climate related disasters, such as floods, droughts and wildfires, which will continue to occur in the future and pose serious hazards to public safety and the economy, regardless of the rate at which the climate warms. Key vulnerabilities are defined as "those aspects of the state's...

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...

This report summarizes the results of a rapid landscape-scale climate vulnerability assessment for the Gunnison Basin. The primary objective of this assessment was to determine what ecosystems/habitats and species are most at risk to climate change (and why) under climate change scenarios predicted for 2050. This report summarizes the results of a landscape-scale climate change vulnerability assessment of 24 ecosystems (17 terrestrial and seven freshwater...

Description
This report is a synthesis of climate science relevant for management and planning for Colorado's water resources. It focuses on observed climate trends, climate modeling, and projections of temperature, precipitation, snowpack, and streamflow. Climate projections are reported for the mid-21st century because this time frame is the focus of adaptation strategies being developed by the State of Colorado and other water entities.

Description
In 2013, the Colorado office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) contacted the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) for assistance in conducting a climate change vulnerability assessment to help focus attention on the highest priority species and habitats. In 2015, CNHP completed vulnerability assessments for 98 species and 20 ecological systems. That assessment highlighted two clear priorities for BLM management in Colorado: pinyon-juniper...
