MI Healthy Climate Plan

This plan lays out a broad vision for fulfilling the governor's commitment for Michigan to achieve economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2050 - the global science-based benchmark for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the most devastating and costly impacts of climate change. The plan focuses on actions between now and 2030 to tackle environmental injustices, clean the electric grid, electrify our transportation sector, repair and decarbonize our buildings, encourage innovation in industry, and protect Michigan's land and water.

The Plan strongly emphasizes environmental justice to ensure Michigan’s climate strategies uplift every portion of the state, including individuals and communities that have borne the brunt of climate impacts and are at the greatest risk of being left behind in the transition ahead. It also spotlights decarbonization strategies that will yield significant health, economic, and other benefits. 

The Plan is meant to identify what needs to happen for Michigan to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 with a prioritization on actions from now until 2030. It focuses most heavily on the areas where the biggest, most rapid gains in GHG reductions can be made – energy, transportation, and buildings.

Per the Healthy Climate Plan, Michigan should aim for electric models to account for and 100 percent school buses sold in 2030.

100% Zero-Emission School Bus Procurement Target

The State of Michigan will transition its fleet to 100% ZEV’s by 2035 for LDVs and 2045 for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
