The Minnesota Climate Strategies and Economic Opportunities project was convened through a Memorandum of Understanding between the Center for Climate Strategies, the Minnesota Department of Commerce, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, with coordination from the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board. The project was intended to improve the state’s energy, economic, and environmental conditions and awareness across all sectors; expand the knowledge, planning, and implementing capacities of its agencies; and contribute to attainment and enhancement of state and federal goals. REMI PI+ modeled how close the project was to its goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to state goals and federal guidelines; expanding the macroeconomic output of jobs, income, and growth; and improving energy and resource efficiency and sustainability.
