The objective was to create an inventory using current best-practice methodologies that could be used to establish priorities for emissions reduction and be relatively easily repeated in future years to benchmark progress.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-col fl-node-d8hwp210u9bi fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="d8hwp210u9bi"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-icon fl-node-z632df59rwpt" data-node="z632df59rwpt"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-icon-wrap"> <span class="fl-icon"> <i class="fas fa-cubes" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-c7lfrm4hxg3y" data-node="c7lfrm4hxg3y"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-rich-text"> <h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">The Results</span></h3> <h4>A community-wide GHG inventory and strengthened relationships</h4> <p style="text-align: left;">In addition to fostering lasting relationships with local scientists and Fort Lewis College, this project enabled the City of Durango to complete a community-wide GHG inventory without the expense of hiring external consultants.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Through this project, the team delivered the following outputs:</p> <ul> <li style="text-align: left;">City of Durango Community GHG Inventory in ClearPath</li> <li>Public-facing report providing a summary and methodology of the inventory.

The city was initially settled to serve the San Juan mining district and while some oil and gas development remains in the surrounding county, tourism is now the dominant industry in Durango. An historic downtown and railroad, extensive year-round recreation opportunities and proximity to archaeological sites including Mesa Verde National Park and Chimney Rock National Monument, draw thousands of visitors to Durango every year. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 32px;">In 2015, Durango City Council adopted a Municipal Sustainability Action Plan. In 2017, the City attained certification under the STAR Communities program. Durango is also a member of the Colorado Compact of Communities, a coalition of cities and towns working together to scale up and advance climate action planning. Durango City Council identified ‘creating a higher focus on climate and sustainability’ as one of its top priorities and is committed to taking proactive steps to measure and curb its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many Durango residents have expressed support for city-wide sustainability initiatives.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 32px;">In 2008, a baseline GHG inventory was conducted for La Plata County using data collected in 2005. In the years since inventory was conducted, the City has scaled up its sustainability efforts for both internal operations and in the wider community. However, no action has been taken to update the 2008 inventory or benchmark progress on emissions reduction. The city is now looking to update the inventory at the city-scale using the most recent data available. The new inventory will be used to set priorities for future actions to reduce GHG emissions throughout the city.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-module fl-module-button fl-node-luto95d876x3" data-node="luto95d876x3"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-button-wrap fl-button-width-auto fl-button-left"> <a href="https://thrivingearthexchange.org/project/durango-co/" target="_blank" class="fl-button" rel="noopener" > <span class="fl-button-text">Learn More</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-col fl-node-rvik30ynw4so fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small fl-col-has-cols" data-node="rvik30ynw4so"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-col-group fl-node-dgqhm2jibyfr fl-col-group-nested" data-node="dgqhm2jibyfr"> <div class="fl-col fl-node-6wekgsohfna7 fl-col-bg-color" data-node="6wekgsohfna7"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"></div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-3bvzensf4ptm" data-node="3bvzensf4ptm"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-photo fl-photo-align-center" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <div class="fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-png"> <img decoding="async" class="fl-photo-img" src="https://communitysci.org/wp-content/plugins/bb-plugin/img/pixel.png" alt="" itemprop="image" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-7qifwm8zd9yr" data-node="7qifwm8zd9yr"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-photo fl-photo-align-center" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <div class="fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-jpg"> <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="330" height="248" class="fl-photo-img wp-image-1295" src="https://mediacenter.agu.org/communitysci/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2023/03/Durango-Downtown_from_Smelter330x248.jpg" alt="Durango Downtown from Smelter" itemprop="image" title="Durango Downtown_from_Smelter330x248" srcset="https://communitysci.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2023/03/Durango-Downtown_from_Smelter330x248.jpg 330w, https://communitysci.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2023/03/Durango-Downtown_from_Smelter330x248-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-module fl-module-callout fl-node-kaiqr5gyhve8" data-node="kaiqr5gyhve8"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-callout fl-callout-has-photo fl-callout-photo-above-title"> <div class="fl-callout-content"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-kchbduvp01ae" data-node="kchbduvp01ae"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-photo fl-photo-align-center" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <div class="fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-jpg"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="232" height="300" class="fl-photo-img wp-image-1246" src="https://mediacenter.agu.org/communitysci/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2023/03/Infographic-2019-06-18-232x300-1.jpg" alt="Durango Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions Summary Infographic 2016" itemprop="image" title="Infographic-2019-06-18-232x300" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-row fl-row-full-width fl-row-bg-color fl-node-0oas8ufpkynb fl-row-default-height fl-row-align-center" data-node="0oas8ufpkynb"> <div class="fl-row-content-wrap"> <div class="fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-col-group fl-node-atpnk8l6fjx0" data-node="atpnk8l6fjx0"> <div class="fl-col fl-node-s50mejir6xhl fl-col-bg-color" data-node="s50mejir6xhl"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-ksrti83ugfwm" data-node="ksrti83ugfwm"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-rich-text"> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 20px;
