Public asked to help guide Michigan s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Online listening sessions scheduled for Earth Day and May 5
The Office of Climate and Energy is asking members of the public for their insights about climate and how Michigan can move toward carbon neutrality by 2050. Two online public listening sessions have been scheduled, one on Earth Day, April 22, and the second on May 5.
The Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) through its Office of Climate and Energy is charged with formulating and overseeing implementation of the MI Healthy Climate Plan, a roadmap to reducing greenhouse gas emissions statewide, with input from the Council on Climate Solutions.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has packed her “Council on Climate Solutions” with campaign donors and a major utility lobbyist and dark money group executive that boosted her 2018 campaign, a review of campaign finance records revealed.
Whitmer issued Executive Order 2020-182 last September to create the board, which advises the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
“The science is clear, and message urgent: the earth’s climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization, and human activities are largely responsible for this change,” the order said.
Members of the advisory board are tasked with creating the “MI Healthy Climate Plan,” which is to “serve as the action plan for this state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition toward economywide carbon neutrality.”

LANSING, Mich. (WBUP) The Council on Climate Solutions has scheduled its inaugural, organizational meeting for Thursday, Feb. 25, to discuss the goals and expectations for the group as it advises the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) in developing an effective and equitable strategy to achieve economywide carbon neutrality by 2050.
“The first meeting of the Council on Climate Solutions marks a critical step in our fight against climate change,” said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “The incredible team that we’ve assembled understands the importance of implementing bold climate solutions that work for Michigan. Their work to develop the MI Healthy Climate Plan will protect public health and the environment and help develop new clean energy jobs by putting Michigan on a path towards becoming fully carbon-neutral by 2050.”
