LANSING, Mich. (WLNS)– Today, the Michigan Climate Action Network will host the sixth annual Michigan Climate Summit at the Lansing Center from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Nearly 500 advocates representing 75 organizations from around the state will be in attendance, bringing students and advocates together to connect and create solutions. Officials say this year`s summit will also be connected for the first time with a Capitol Day of Action.

The Michigan Climate Action Network stated in a news release sent to 6 News that the summit’s goals are to connect and support individuals and groups within the climate network, inspire attendees to take individual and collective action, and demonstrate broad public support for bold and equitable solutions.

“Michigan’s energy future is at a crossroads, and the ultimate goal of the summit is to advance a rapid transition to renewable energy so we can lower costs, improve grid reliability, protect community health, and mitigate the worst impacts of the climate crisis for the most vulnerable,” said Dr. Denise Keele, Executive Director at Michigan Climate Action Network.
