Fiske Planetarium 2414 Regent Dr, Boulder, CO, us

¿Sabes que tienes derecho a un medio ambiente sano? En el 2022, las Naciones Unidas reconocieron que el derecho a un medio ambiente limpio, saludable y sostenible –que incluye el derecho a un clima seguro– es un derecho humano. Por lo tanto, la crisis climática es una crisis de derechos humanos. En esta conferencia, exploraremos el significado y lo que implica el derecho humano a un medio ambiente saludable, particularmente a un clima seguro. Veremos que, el reconocimiento mundial del derecho a un medio ambiente sano, junto con la evidencia científica sobre el cambio climático y sus impactos, significa que se pueden exigir responsabilidades a los gobiernos y las empresas por decisiones y acciones que contribuyen al cambio climático.

The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will hold a hybrid Public Hearing on Docket Z-23-0001: Zoning Map Amendments to the Floodplain Overlay District on Tuesday, March 26 starting at 1 p.m.

The county's Floodplain Overlay District is comprised of both the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and the Boulder County Floodplain and Floodway. In 2017, 2018, and 2020, the county incorporated draft and preliminary CHAMP data into the Boulder County Floodplain and Floodway. Now, the CHAMP study will be incorporated into the FEMA FIRM as of autumn 2024.
