This event is a follow-up to the "Collaborative Planning for Just and Equitable Climate Action "session held in October 2024, which developed strategies for incorporating environmental justice into actions to meet the statewide goals of the MI Healthy Climate Plan [ [link removed] ]. Input received in 2024 and 2025 helped inform the state's Comprehensive Climate Action Plan [ [link removed] ]. This plan includes Michigan’s updated Greenhouse Gas Inventory and describes actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build a healthier and more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable Michigan for all Michiganders. Now we need your help to identify how to make these actions and their benefits real in communities impacted by climate and environmental justice concerns.
