Clean transportation: Connect all people through a safe, equitable, and sustainable transportation system.
-
Climate-smart natural and working lands: Manage our lands to reduce GHG emissions and sustain resilient landscapes.
-
Resilient communities: Prepare communities with resources to build a more resilient future for themselves.
-
Clean energy and efficient buildings: Investments that will create jobs, lower energy bills, and contribute to a more stable climate.
-
Healthy lives and communities: Protect the health and wellbeing of all Minnesotans in the face of climate change.
-
Clean economy: Build an economy that addresses climate change and creates equitable opportunities.
