MI Healthy Climate Plan

Executive Directive 2020-10 charged EGLE, through its Office of Climate and Energy (OCE), with developing the MI Healthy Climate Plan (Plan), the state’s action plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition toward economy-wide carbon neutrality.

A key focus of the Plan is on solutions that support communities disproportionately impacted by the changing climate.

EGLE developed the Plan with input from Michigan residents, coordinated through the Council on Climate Solutions. EGLE released the final MI Healthy Climate Plan on April 21, 2022.
