Governor Gretchen Whitmer released a roadmap for Michigan to achieve economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2050, with interim 2030 goals. The MI Healthy Climate Plan identifies what needs to happen for Michigan to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 with a prioritization on actions from now until 2030. The plan’s recommendations fall around 6 pillars:

- 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

“If we follow the steps outlined in the plan and collaborate with public and private sector partners, we can build a Michigan where every Michigander has clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and access to healthy, affordable local food. Today, we are positioning Michigan to become the global center of clean energy innovation where workers can get good-paying jobs, from those that don’t require a college degree to careers in advanced engineering and science. We can protect our beautiful public lands and majestic Great Lakes, driven by our unyielding belief in a brighter future,” said Governor Whitmer.
