MI Healthy Climate Plan

Collaborative Planning Session for Equitable and Just Climate Action

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Office of Climate and Energy and Office of the Environmental Justice Public Advocate want to hear from communities with environmental and climate justice concerns regarding ways to integrate justice and equity into climate action planning, specifically the implementation of the MI Healthy Climate Plan [ [link removed] ] (MHCP). 

The public is invited to participate in an in-person engagement session on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, from 3-5 p.m. ET at the DNR Outdoor Adventure Center [ [link removed] ] in Detroit. This meeting is the latest opportunity to help us shape how we move forward with implementation through an equitable lens.
