KEY COALITION PRINCIPLES
Climate change is impacting our communities today.
Local governments face increased insecurity and costs in addressing climate impacts and mitigation projects.
Local governments are already taking action and committing to do more.
Climate solutions should take into account the disproportionate impact climate change has on different groups.
We call for the State of Minnesota to support us, including by securing federal funding, technical assistance, and funding support.
