Los Alamos County

On January 26, 2021, Los Alamos County Council approved the formation of the Los Alamos Resiliency Energy & Sustainability Task Force (LARES) with a 6-1 vote. The purpose of the LARES Task Force is to serve as an advisory body to the County Council for the purpose of recommending ways for the County as a whole, including government, businesses, and residents, to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions and advance other sustainable practices in the face of climate change. This will be a working committee; members will be responsible for collaborating with each other and Los Alamos County stakeholders.
