San Juan County is accepting applications for two volunteer positions on its Climate and Sustainability Advisory Committee.
A member from District 3 (includes Lopez, Shaw, and Decatur) – Two-year term
A youth member (age 16-19) – Two-year term
The Climate and Sustainability Advisory Committee was established by the San Juan County Council in early 2022 to help steer the County’s climate action work by advising on policy, helping set priorities, and harness the momentum of existing work. The committee seeks to provide opportunities for cross-pollination of ideas and to increase collaboration around climate and sustainability efforts throughout San Juan County.
The Committee consists of 11 members who represent various sectors and perspectives on climate and sustainability issues, such as renewable energy, construction and green building, transportation, agriculture, economic development, and ecology. Meetings are bi-monthly on the fourth Thursday of the month, in the evening. The new members will be expected to attend meetings and participate in the Committee’s activities and projects.
