IRS990/Desc0In 2023, WLN helped achieve a significant victory with the Environmental Protection Agencys finalization of a groundbreaking rule to limit methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. WLN staff and leaders advocated for the new standard through public testimony and publishing opinion editorials. WLN Executive Director Gwen Lachelt testified before agency leaders and the Office of Management and Budget, urging the EPA to strengthen its proposal. Director Lachelt also testified at an EPA hearing on the Methane Emissions Reduction Program, funded through the Inflation Reduction Act to cut down on methane emissions. WLN submitted letters signed by elected officials in the organizations respective regions, called on the EPA to finalize a robust rule, and released media statements to amplify the letters. Director Lachelt participated in the White Houses inaugural Methane Summit in Washington, DC, in July. At the summit, the Biden administration announced the formation of a cabinet-level Methane Task Force dedicated to addressing the climate crisis through methane mitigation. WLN released a media statement following the announcement, and Director Lachelt interviewed with Colorado public radio station KUNC about the task force and methane pollutions effect on western communities. New Mexico WLN has been active in state-level efforts to improve air quality, protect frontline communities, and hold the oil and gas industry accountable for pollution. WLN advocated through public testimony and opinion editorials for the New Mexico Oil and Gas Justice Reform Act, designed to modernize the states oil and gas regulatory laws. WLN staff also testified before the New Mexico Environment Departments Environmental Improvement Board in support of standards to set New Mexico on the path to zero-emissions vehicles. WLN released a media statement supporting the states pursuit of federal funding to reduce climate pollution. WLN also actively advocated for expanded voting rights in New Mexico. The state legislature passed the New Mexico Voting Rights Act, which included provisions to improve voter access throughout the state and enacted the first-in-the-nation Native American Voting Rights Act to encourage broader voter participation from New Mexicos indigenous communities. ColoradoIn Colorado, WLN engaged throughout the year in the states Greenhouse Gas Intensity Verification Rulemaking, an effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas sector through more precise and accurate measurement of methane pollution. WLN staff and Colorado elected officials testified before the Air Pollution Control Division to support a robust rule to improve state regulatory process transparency, hold polluters accountable, protect frontline communities, and meet state climate objectives.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Federal Climate Investments Implementation The historic Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law contain unprecedented federal investments to build climate resilience, create jobs, and achieve environmental justice. WLN produced a series of videos with leaders across the Interior West to illustrate how their communities are utilizing these historic funding opportunities to build a healthier climate, improve their local economies, and progress toward environmental justice and equity. WLN amplified the videos on social platforms and with partner organizations.In fall 2023, WLN staff traveled to Washington, DC, to meet with Members of Congress to share these success stories from Western communities and ask them to continue supporting climate resilience funding. WLN also collaborated with elected officials in Nevada and Montana to publish an opinion editorial urging Congress to maintain the federal funding programs.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Public Land and Water - National Monument Campaigns On the heels of another public lands victory in 2022 the designation of Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument in Colorado national monument status for Nevadas Avi Kwa Ame was designated in March 2023. Also known as Spirit Mountain, this historically, ecologically, and culturally rich expanse of desert landscape is considered the ancestral homeland of regional tribes. Avi Kwa Ame provides critical habitat for the desert tortoise, bighorn sheep, and other wildlife species. WLN advocated for federal protections for Avi Kwa Ame through media statements and by working with tribal elected officials in the region to publish an opinion editorial conveying the importance of Avi Kwa Ame as a sacred site that protects biodiversity and supports the local outdoor recreation economy.
