State statutes

Guidance EO 2019-003 + Energy Transition Act (2019) + December 2025 NM Climate Action Plan
Enacted: 2019-01-29

New Mexico's distinctive state-level climate framework. Executive Order 2019-003 (January 29, 2019) committed NM to 45% GHG reduction below 2005 levels by 2030, directed state agencies to develop clean-energy policies, and joined the U.S. Climate Alliance. Energy Transition Act (2019) — among the most aggressive state RPS/CES standards, setting zero-carbon resources standards for investor-owned utilities by 2045 and rural electric cooperatives by 2050. New Mexico Climate Action Plan (December 19, 2025) — roadmap to 45% reduction by 2030 and net-zero by 2050 as directed by EO 2019-003. In May 2023, Gov. Lujan Grisham was elected to the U.S. Climate Alliance Executive Committee. None of these documents identifies landscape equipment or small-off-road engines as a reduction category — but the climate-leader posture creates a receptive environment for future municipal or state-level GLB action that is absent in null-states without comparable state framework.
