Our Climate Future: Strategy Community Consultant Program

Our Climate Future (OCF) is a comprehensive plan to simultaneously address climate, energy and waste goals while improving our community’s environmental equity and resilience. OCF articulates an unwavering commitment to mitigating and adapting to climate change with people-first systems approach.

OCF implementation intensifies our community efforts to achieve these goals:
  • Reduce 2030 greenhouse gas emissions by 80% below 2005 baseline levels;
  • Provide 100% renewable electricity by 2030 with grid and local sources; and
  • Achieve zero waste, or 100% landfill diversion, by 2030.

To meet these goals, OCF is comprised of (3) three teams; Co-leads, Next Moves, and Strategy Teams that deliver a strategic, tactical, and systemic approach towards the implementation of Next Moves projects within the City of Fort Collins. Next Moves are defined as specific strategies and tactics that lead to transformational outcomes of the Big Moves. To do this well, it is vital to solicit community collaboration and strategic consultation to ensure our goals and objectives remain in alignment with our communities’ purpose and values. Community strategic consultants will offer recommendations to direct the City's OCF Strategy Team towards an equitable governance model.
