WRA fights climate change and its impacts to sustain the environment, economy, and people of the West. We're tackling the largest sources of carbon pollution, improving air quality for nature and people, safeguarding and restoring our rivers and water supply, and protecting and connecting our region’s unparalleled landscapes. WRA is unique among environmental organizations. We leverage our legal, policy, communications, and government affairs expertise developed over three decades to lead state action --where the most important decisions and climate progress is made. We've achieved measurable results in reducing emissions and protecting rivers and lands in the face of climate change.

WRA completed its recent three-year strategic plan in 2025, and final outcomes are under evaluation. Some of our core 2025 plans included:
1) Advancing clean energy and reducing climate pollution by accelerating power sector emission reductions, electrifying the building and transportation sectors, and developing the framework for organized and expanded regional electricity markets across the West.
2) Improving management and protection of the Colorado River and its tributaries and accelerating municipal efficiency.
3) Modernizing state wildlife agency effectiveness and securing conservation financing for land conservation, prescribed fire resiliency, and regional outdoor equity funding.
