CENTER FOR CIVIC POLICY
Sustainable Economy
Putting workers and communities at the forefront of building a diverse and healthy economy.
Our dedicated sustainable economy team is working on the local, state, and federal level on policies that will help create a diverse and healthy economy for our communities that doesn’t rely on extractive industries. CCP and our partners are committed to including communities across our state in conversations to ensure that voices from across New Mexico are heard in the decision making process.
Clear Horizons Act
New Mexico has what it takes to build a land of opportunity for our families. Opportunities to live and work in a state with clean air, land, and water for generations to come. Our hardworking New Mexico families deserve to be treated with respect and care, especially by companies and industries that can afford to do more to lower pollution and create a healthier environment. This year, CCP is supporting three bills with the goal of putting the health and well-being of our communities first, these bills include the Clear Horizons Act, Community Benefits Fund, and Innovation in Government Act.
NM Prospera
Nuevo Mexico Prospera is a coalition of grassroots economic, social and environmental justice organizations from around the state working to diversify the state’s economy while creating thousands of jobs for communities most impacted by climate change. We believe communities and frontline workers who are disproportionately affected by climate change should lead the just transition to a sustainable economy that provides good paying jobs while protecting our water, air, and land.
Power 4 NM
At Power 4 NM, we believe that by growing community power and amplifying community voices to inform NM’s energy transition and push the state’s decision makers to commit to bold actions on climate, we will be able shape a clean and prosperous present and future led by frontline communities. This will allow us to empower everyday New Mexicans to be part of the emerging regenerative economy.
