Mark your calendars now for the fourth annual MI Healthy Climated conference, hosted by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) on April 21, 2026, at the Huntington Place in Detroit!
About the Conference
Governor Gretchen Whitmer committed Michigan to carbon neutrality by 2050 and in April 2022 released the MI Healthy Climate Plan (the Plan) to chart Michigan’s path forward. We are dedicated to reaching our interim 2030 goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52% from 2005 baselines, in an equitable manner. While we tackle this challenge with great urgency, we also find hope and inspiration in the collective community taking climate action in Michigan.
Building off the momentum of past years, the MI Healthy Climate Conference aims to bring together representatives of local, state, and tribal governments, universities, community members, nonprofits, business leaders, and climate leaders from across the state and nation to:
- Report on the progress of the MI Healthy Climate Plan
- Foster connection, conversation, and collaboration
- Inspire attendees with real-world examples of community-led innovation and climate action
- Mobilize resources, technical support, and funding opportunities to empower communities to implement local climate initiatives
- Celebrate the work being done to move climate action forward in Michigan
This year’s conference sessions will include inspiring plenary talks, breakout sessions, interactive office hours, and several networking opportunities, including a reception at the end of the day.
