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. 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 MI Healthy Climate Fellows (MHCF) program is seeking host partners and fellows for the 2026 cohort. This informational webinar, presented by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Office of Climate & Energy and the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan, will provide an overview of the MHCF program and the application process to be involved as a host partner or fellow.
Since the program launch in March 2024, the MHCF program has deployed 55 fellows at 50 organizations across the state to build climate action capacity in advancing the goals of the MI Healthy Climate Plan. The program pairs passionate fellows with Michigan communities to drive real climate solutions—like solar planning, composting programs, energy efficiency upgrades, and community resiliency planning. Host partners gain the talent and capacity to accelerate their climate action goals, while fellows receive career-building experience that prepares them to lead Michigan’s healthy climate future. Together, they’re creating lasting local impact and a more resilient Michigan.
Join the MHCF program and be the change we need for climate change! Applications for host partners are now open and close September 30, 2025, while fellow applications will be accepted starting October 17, 2025, through November 17, 2025. If you are a government or nonprofit organization on the frontlines of addressing climate change in Michigan and want to host a fellow, or if you might be interested in joining the MHCF program, you should attend this webinar.
