Project Summary
In September 2022, Governor Tim Walz announced a new Climate Action Framework for Minnesota, identifying immediate actions to improve climate resiliency in Minnesota communities. But one challenge for the state is how, exactly, to measure climate resilience and adaptation outcomes. We worked with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to develop metrics and indicators the state can use to monitor and assess its progress in increasing resilience across Minnesota’s communities and landscapes. We are continuing to work with MPCA and the Resilient Communities Climate Action Framework Goal Team to implement our recommendations at the state level and also to inform monitoring and evaluation efforts by local communities that are developing their own climate action plans.
