When Gov. Walz signed the Executive Order creating this advisory council, he remarked on Twitter that "climate change threatens the very things that make [Minnesota] a great place to live. That’s why I’m signing this Executive Order to create a Climate Change Subcabinet — bringing state government agencies together to implement bold, collaborative action on climate change."
The MPCA, in coordination with other state agencies and boards, will provide staffing and administrative support to the Subcabinet and the Advisory Council.
