Michigan Climate Action Network to unite statewide efforts around climate change

Groups from across the state met together for the first time on February 11 at Michigan Environmental Council (MEC) headquarters in Lansing to share their work on climate change and discuss collective future action in Michigan.

MEC, Ecology Center, Michigan Land Use Institute, and the Porter Family Foundation convened the meeting with representatives of MEC member groups, state agencies, and regional partners.

Participants, including Sarah Mullkoff, energy program director, and Kate Madigan, Northern Michigan representative and energy specialist, discussed holding an event this year to harness public interest and draw attention to climate change consequences in Michigan and opportunities for action.
