Michigan Department of Environment - MI Healthy Climate Plan Implementation Public Input

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy’s Office of Climate and Energy is hosting two virtual listening sessions to gain input from the general public on strategic, equitable implementation of the MI Healthy Climate Plan (MHCP) (Michigan.gov/MiHealthyClimatePlan). Released in 2021 after a rigorous, statewide stakeholder engagement process, the MHCP underscores the urgent need for action on climate and identifies bold, necessary, and strategic measures to deliver a carbon neutral economy. The MHCP identifies actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50-52% from 2005 baselines by 2030 in an equitable manner. In preparation for competitive federal funding as part of the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) Program, we are seeking feedback to prioritize key strategies in the MHCP with greatest near-term GHG reduction measures. The virtual session agenda will start with education around the MHCP and progress on goals, with most of the session focused on listening to top priorities in your community, barriers to implementation, and environmental justice considerations EGLE should consider in planning.
