MI Healthy Climate Webinar Series
The MI Healthy Climate Plan lays out a pathway for Michigan to avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis, create good-paying jobs, and build a healthier and more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable Michigan for all Michiganders. Focusing on action from today to 2030, the Plan identifies bold, necessary, and strategic measures to deliver a carbon-neutral economy, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 52% from 2005 baselines by 2030 in an equitable manner, including the following priority action areas:
- Commit to environmental justice and pursue a just transition
- Clean the electric grid
- Electrify vehicles and increase public transit
- Repair and decarbonize homes and businesses
- Drive clean innovation in industry
- Protect Michigan?s land and water
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy?s Office of Climate and Energy is presenting this webinar series to highlight opportunities to take action as well as actions taking place around the state to implement the goals in the Plan. The target audience includes local and state government, nonprofits, community groups, universities, businesses, and anyone interested in taking climate action. Join us as we discuss specific actions and upcoming programs and opportunities designed to help leverage resources, build partnerships, and create meaningful and measurable steps to reaching our goals of 100% carbon neutrality by 2050 in Michigan. A question-and-answer period will follow each presentation. All webinars will be recorded and posted online for future viewing.
Upcoming webinar in the series
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) CPRG program provides states, local governments, and tribal nations flexible resources to plan for and pursue ambitious GHG pollution reductions to achieve three broad objectives:
- Tackle damaging climate pollution while supporting the creation of good jobs and lowering energy costs for families;
- Accelerate work to address environmental injustices and empower community-driven solutions in overburdened neighborhoods; and,
- Deliver cleaner air by reducing harmful pollution in places where people live, work, play, and go to school.
Attend this webinar to hear how the state of Michigan is using the $3 million CPRG planning grant to accelerate the implementation of the MI Healthy Climate Plan and provide a strong framework for pursuing corresponding upcoming competitive funding from the EPA. We will discuss the general purpose of the grant, our proposed approach to public and stakeholder engagement, grant timeline, future funding opportunities, and other grant deliverables.
