Join EMNRD (Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department of the State of New Mexico) Deputy Secretary Ben Shelton for an illuminating conversation on decarbonization—the urgent work of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by shifting to cleaner energy, improving efficiency, and reimagining how we power our homes and communities. This session will explore practical strategies for accelerating the energy transition, especially in the places where we live and work.
Deputy Secretary Shelton will share insights into New Mexico’s statewide decarbonization strategy. He will also offer concrete ideas for how communities like Santa Fe can support low-to-moderate-income households in making their homes more energy-efficient, resilient, and climate-friendly.
As Santa Fe undertakes its first major update to the general plan and land use code in decades, this timely session invites us to consider how smart, inclusive development can help build a more sustainable, equitable future—locally and statewide. Reception to immediately follow lecture.
