About the Conference
With unprecedented climate investments from federal and state sources, recently passed legislation, and executive actions to help meet the goals in the MI Healthy Climate Plan (Plan), Michigan is positioned better than ever to achieve the main goal in the Plan of a healthy, prosperous, carbon-neutral Michigan for all residents by 2050.
Building on these actions and the success of last year’s conference, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is hosting this two-day conference to continue the mobilization of engaged stakeholders and review the actions being taken around the state to implement the goals in the Plan. This year's conference is expected to draw more than 500 attendees from local, state, federal, and tribal governments, universities, nonprofits, community groups, and businesses.
With the theme of this year’s conference being “Accelerating Action,” speakers will share about their success stories, challenges, funding opportunities, technical assistance, and other actions they are taking in the six priority areas of the Plan:
- Commit to environmental justice and pursue a just transition
- Clean the electric grid
- Electrify vehicles and increase public transit
- Repair and decarbonize homes and businesses
- Drive clean innovation in industry
- Protect Michigan’s land and water
Be a part of the solution and register today!
The comprehensive agenda provides several opportunities to network, including breaks, lunch, and a reception at the end of the first day. We are also using an online event app, Whova, to help attendees take their networking to the next level.
Join us on May 16 and 17 to connect with thought leaders and professionals, discover solutions and opportunities, and accelerate action on implementing the MI Healthy Climate Plan for healthier sustainable communities.
Green Lakes Green Events
The MI Healthy Climate Conference is participating in the Great Lakes Green Events, a new initiative developed by the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Governors & Premiers, which encourages destination stewardship and environmentally beneficial practices for conferences and other events in the Great Lakes St. Lawrence region. Through this initiative, EGLE commits to promoting and implementing sustainable practices like reducing food waste and eliminating single-use plastics at our event. Great Lakes Green Events also create a positive footprint by supporting tree planting projects in the local community.
This material is based upon work supported by the Department of Energy and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, Sustainability Section under Award Number(s) EE0010036.
