How Wyoming and New Mexico are Diversifying Fossil-Dependent Economies
April 16 | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Despite their reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas for revenue and jobs, Wyoming and New Mexico are actively seeking to diversify their economies amid a changing energy landscape. In this webinar, Growth Lab research fellows Tim O’Brien and Juan Carlos Orrego Zamudio will share research insights from our work in New Mexico, including the fiscal risks of economic reliance on fossil fuels, potential growth industries, and considerations for effective state policymaking.
Read Tim and Juan Carlos’ working paper, New Mexico’s Economy Over Time and Space, and explore their regional diversification briefs.
This event is part of a webinar series hosted by the Resilient Energy Economies initiative.
