MTERA has created a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) to promote policies, practices, and technologies that reduce pollution, create high-quality jobs, drive economic growth, and enhance the quality of life for all Midwest Tribes. Funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG), this plan focuses on reducing harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, addressing environmental injustices, and empowering community-driven solutions in Midwest Tribal communities.

To maximize the grant’s impact, MTERA partnered with eight Midwest Tribes. This plan’s analysis is grounded in the data and insight from this eight-Tribe subset of EPA Region 5 Tribes. The results and strategies are designed to be broadly applicable to Tribes across the Midwest regardless of where each is at in their climate action planning process – providing insight on major sources of GHG emissions by sector, the relative emissions reduction impacts, benefits, and costs of measures, and the process towards their implementation.

While several sections within this CCAP are a deep dive into the analysis of the eight participating Tribes, the findings and strategies from this CCAP are designed to be broadly applicable to Tribes throughout Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
