An elected Met Council could accelerate Regional Climate Implementation
An Elected Met Council will have both a mandate from local voters and the time needed to receive new ideas from stakeholders and cities and counties to support breakthrough solutions on complex issues including climate change,
Let’s maintain mutual accountability and transparency to achieve region-wide climate mitigation & adaptation goals on time with state agencies, Met Council, cities, counties & partners.
Let’s follow the example of dozens of successful Regional Climate Collaboratives across the U.S. here in the Twin Cities to scale up climate-friendly regional investments and local policy adoption & projects by metro cities and counties to achieve our climate goals on time.
See five good national examples https://rccmn.co/regionalclimatecollaboratives/
