About the Conference

Governor 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. Since Michigan launched the Plan, the focus has shifted from goal setting to real-world implementation. With this year’s conference focused on “Advancing Climate Action Together” and turning climate commitments into healthier homes, cleaner air, resilient infrastructure, and thriving communities and businesses, this is where Michigan’s next chapter of climate action takes shape.
The MHCC is expected to draw more than 900 attendees from local, state, and tribal governments, universities, community members, nonprofits, businesses, 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 innovation and climate action
Mobilize resources, technical support, and funding opportunities to empower communities and organizations to implement local climate initiatives and clean energy measures
Celebrate the work being done to move climate action forward in Michigan
This year’s conference sessions will include inspiring plenary talks, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities, including a reception at the end of the day.
