IRS990/Desc0Energy & ClimateIn 2020, Western Leaders Network (WLN) engaged more than 450 local officials and tribal elected leaders throughout the Interior West on the following issues: Building the organization's membership, preserving the BLM and EPA federal rules to reduce methane emissions, and advocating for reforms to the federal oil and gas program and state-level rules in both Colorado and New Mexico to reduce oil and gas pollution.On the above issues, WLN organized and submitted sign-on letters to state and federal agencies and officials, issued media statements and public comments, recruited leaders to write letters-to-the-editor and opinion editorials, partnered with experts and other organizations to host educational webinars for the network, and organized WLN staff and members to testify in Washington, DC.WLN also focused organization efforts on climate and energy, mainly reforming the U.S. federal oil and gas program. Updating these policies would ensure oil and gas companies pay a fair market price to develop nonrenewable resources, guarantee a fair taxpayer return and protect communities and our climate from industry impacts.WLN promoted the 30x30 Campaign for Nature, which is a U.S.-led, science-based initiative to preserve 30 percent of our lands and water by 2030 to fight the climate crisis and protect our wildlife, waterways and natural places. WLN published a toolkit for local leadership to learn more about the campaign goals and community-level action they can take to advance it. To date, 35 local and tribal elected officials took the pledge to support the 30x30 initiative, and 10 local and tribal boards passed resolutions of support.
