1. Climate Action Framework: In 2021, Governor Walz released a comprehensive "Climate Action Framework" that outlines Minnesota’s approach to achieving a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. The framework focuses on decarbonizing energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting clean transportation, and enhancing the resilience of communities to climate change impacts. 2. Clean Car Standards: Walz's administration adopted the "Clean Car Standards" in 2021, which align with California's vehicle emission standards. These standards aim to reduce emissions from cars and light trucks by increasing the availability of low- and zero-emission vehicles in Minnesota. 3. 100% Clean Energy by 2040: In early 2023, Walz signed legislation committing Minnesota to 100% clean electricity by 2040. This law mandates that all utilities in the state source 100% of their electricity from carbon-free sources by 2040, with incremental targets leading up to this goal. 4. Renewable Energy Standard: Walz has supported expanding Minnesota’s Renewable Energy Standard, which requires a significant portion of the state’s electricity to come from renewable sources like wind and solar. Under his leadership, the state has set ambitious targets to increase renewable energy production. 5. Investment in Clean Energy Jobs: The Walz administration has emphasized the economic benefits of transitioning to a clean energy economy, investing in job training programs and initiatives to ensure that Minnesota's workforce is prepared for the shift to renewable energy and sustainable practices.
