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 that reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 52% from 2005 baselines by 2030 in an equitable manner, and includes 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 the 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 Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) will be expanding upon Governor Whitmer?s announcement at the MI Healthy Climate Conference. EGLE and the MEDC seek to accelerate deployment of large-scale ($100 million+), commercially viable projects and technologies that will help the state achieve its carbon neutrality goals, while also spurring economic development and high-quality jobs throughout the state.?
Hans Riemer, from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO), will join to provide an overview of the SEFI program. Attend this webinar to hear from both of Michigan?s SEFIs and the DOE LPO about how SEFI support for your project can help open up new federal financing streams. This webinar is intended for public and private entities managing large-scale decarbonization projects (of at least $100 million, which can be an aggregation of smaller projects).
