Structure of subcabinet
The Climate Change Subcabinet is comprised of executives from 15 state agencies, departments, and boards.
Chair: Commissioner of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
The subcabinet was established to:
- Identify policies and strategies that will put Minnesota back on track to meet or exceed our GHG reduction goals and achieve 100% clean energy by 2050
- Identify policies and strategies that will enhance the climate resiliency of Minnesota’s natural resources, working lands, and communities and assist state agencies, businesses, and local communities to prepare for climate change impacts that cannot be avoided or mitigated
- Engage with Minnesotans on these complex issues
- Promote equitable policy solutions that can reduce current disparities in Minnesota, ensure a just transition for impacted workers and communities, and encourage green economic development and job creation
