Climate Conversations
Solving the climate crisis requires participation from all parts of the state, from every social and economic class, and from the public and private sectors. Reducing climate impacts and adapting to climate change could also be an opportunity to make our communities more vibrant, equitable and sustainable. Talking about shared goals and priorities is an important way to involve more Minnesotans in climate action. By hosting or participating in a conversation about climate change, you are helping build Minnesota’s climate action and protect our future.
Guiding questions
Think about something in your community or elsewhere in Minnesota that you value. It could be a place, an event, or a hobby. How will climate change affect it? How do you picture yourself or other people experiencing it in 2050? | |
Can you think of something in your current life that could be improved as Minnesota takes action on climate change? How? For example, bicycle and pedestrian pathways could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make it safer and easier to get around without a vehicle. | |
How do you talk to your friends and family about climate change? | |
What are your knowledge, skills and resources that you can contribute to climate action? | |
Climate change will affect many parts of our lives including our food systems, local economies, and our natural resources. What actions are you interested in to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or adapt to climate impacts in one of these areas? What actions could you take in your home, family, or friend group? Your workplace? Your community, city, or state? Share your ideas on the Climate Action Map*! | |
