Member only webinar: MN Climate Action Framework

CEEM members, join us for a March webinar with Kate Knuth, Climate Director at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), as we explore the clean energy business and engagement opportunities emerging from the updated Minnesota Climate Action Framework, released in February.

This webinar will highlight key updates from the original framework and examine how Minnesota businesses can leverage action steps across the framework’s seven goals.

With the 2026 update to the Climate Action Framework, Minnesota is signaling a long-term commitment to a decarbonized, clean economy. Building on the 2022 framework, which catalyzed more than $1 billion in state funding and led to over 40 new climate laws and programs, the updated framework serves as a strategic roadmap for capital investment, infrastructure development, and scaling the state’s growing clean energy workforce.

Kate Knuth will kick off the webinar by sharing key highlights from the more than 100 page report and offering insights into the state’s priorities and direction.

The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion featuring representatives from state government and industry, focused on what these updates mean for the clean energy sector.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with speakers during a live Q&A. By the end of the webinar, attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the updated Climate Action Framework and begin identifying concrete opportunities for business engagement.
