MI Healthy Climate Webinar Series

The MI Healthy Climate Plan [ [link removed] ] 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 [ [link removed] ] 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.

Through the U.S. EPA?s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), the?$7 billion Solar for All Competition?will award grants to states, territories, Tribal governments, municipalities, and eligible nonprofit recipients to expand the number of low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDCs) primed for distributed solar investment with overall objectives to:


* reduce emissions of GHGs and other air pollutants;
* deliver benefits of GHG and pollution reducing-projects to LIDC; and
* mobilize financing and private capital to stimulate additional deployment of GHG and pollution-reducing projects.??

If you are a resident interested in solar, contractor, manufacturer, local government, or community-based organization, you should attend this webinar. Attendees will learn about the Solar for All program and how it may impact communities across Michigan.
