On Monday, April 12, the Duluth City Council passed a climate emergency resolution. It states that city government and the city’s sustainability officer will prepare a climate action plan and present that plan to the council in December.
On the same day, Covering Climate Now, a global journalism initiative, launched an 11-day campaign called Living Through the Climate Emergency. Representing more than 450 media partners from around the world including the Guardian, CBS News, New Republic, and the Philadelphia Inquirer the campaign featured human-centered stories on how the climate emergency is seen and felt by ordinary people and how the emergency is playing out in people s lives.
