Minnesota’s plan to address and prepare for climate change.
Minnesota is updating the Climate Action Framework in 2024 and 2025.
Climate change is no longer a far-off possibility. Minnesotans across our state are suffering its devastating effects right now — and it will get worse. Luckily, we can all be a part of the solution. Addressing climate change presents us with a historic opportunity to strengthen our economy, improve our health, and create a more equitable Minnesota for everyone.
To guide this work, the State of Minnesota has developed a Climate Action Framework. This plan sets a vision for how our state will address and prepare for climate change. It identifies immediate, near-term actions we must take to achieve our long-term goal of a carbon-neutral, resilient, and equitable future for Minnesota.
