Help protect New Mexico's carbon pollution reduction policies
For the past several years, New Mexico has been working to implement the Western Climate Initiative (WCI) – a regional cap-and-trade program that partners with other western states and Canadian provinces to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and jumpstart our local clean energy economy.
In line with the WCI, the NM Environmental Improvement Board (EIB) was petitioned to craft rules for carbon pollution reduction (2008) and a cap-and-trade program (2010) pursuant to the New Mexico Air Quality Control Act.
