CALL FOR CLIMATE AMBASSADORS
Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) is seeking Climate Ambassadors to help conduct inclusive and equitable engagement to support the development of the Southeast Michigan Healthy Climate Plan.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the Southeast Michigan Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP), marking a big step towards climate action in Southeast Michigan. The purpose of the PCAP is to prioritize measures that will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhance natural areas that capture climate pollution. Extensive stakeholder outreach, community engagement, and cross-sector coordination are integral to this goal and ensuring that these priority actions will benefit the region, with a focus on equity and environmental justice.
The Climate Ambassadors Program is a paid opportunity for individuals who are passionate about climate action and environmental justice in Southeast Michigan. Through this program, Climate Ambassadors will build their understanding of climate change issues in Southeast Michigan, support a regional commitment to equity and environmental justice, and work directly with community members to develop important climate actions.
Applications close September 10, 2024 at 5 p.m. and selections are anticipated to be completed by September 16, 2024.
