Resources for applying for state resilience grants or submitting an environmental assessment worksheet
MN CliMAT projections can be valuable for preparing background resources for MPCA resilience planning and implementation grants, and can also be used to respond to question 7A in the state's EQB Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). We've compiled the following resources:
County-level climate data trends
This tool provides observed and projected climate trends for all 87 Minnesota counties.
Regional climate summaries
These summaries for each of nine geographic regions in Minnesota provide top-line information on projected temperature and precipitation changes, as well as key climate impacts to sectors such as agriculture and tourism.
Observed state climate data
The Minnesota State Climatology Office manages, analyzes, and disseminates data and resources related to Minnesota's historical climate conditions.
Send an email to [email protected] with any additional questions or data requests.
Climate Adaptation for Midwest Professionals
The Climate Adaptation for Midwest Professionals (CAMP) program consists of customized professional development workshops designed to teach participants to integrate future climate data into planning, project design and implementation.
