Minneapolis Climate Equity Plan

The Minneapolis City Council recently approved the City's Climate Equity Plan, furthering the City's ambitious health and sustainability goals, while keeping Minneapolis on the leading edge for reducing greenhouse gases and reaching city carbon neutral by 2050. 

Environmental justice and equity 

The City seeks to improve the health and well-being of people living in Green Zone communities who are unfairly affected by pollution, racism, and poverty. 

The Climate Equity Plan will: 

• Increase dedicated, equitable funding for historically under-resourced communities and Green Zones. 

• Include residents in decision-making.

• Create green and union jobs with workforce strategies that target communities of Black, Indigenous, and people of color.

• Address systemic harms against marginalized groups.

Reducing impact on climate change 

Seven strategies to reach the desired results by 2030 are:

• Insulating and weatherizing 5,000 homes. 

• Eliminating the number of households with an energy burden over 6%. 

• Reducing fossil (natural) gas emissions by 35%. 

• Train and support 1,000 Minneapolis community members in new green jobs. 

• Expanding green space, tree planting and local and sustainable food systems. 

• Reducing emissions from commercial buildings by 77%. 

• Reaching 100% renewable electricity citywide, with 30% coming from local solar energy. 

The City aims to achieve an environmentally just, resilient, low-carbon, and equitable community by implementing a Climate Equity Plan that benefits everyone.
