Sixteen Minnesota cities, from the North Shore to metro area to southeastern bluff country, are declaring a climate emergency, sending a message to lawmakers ahead of this legislative session that the time for action is now.
"We have a lot to lose," Grand Marais Mayor Jay DeCoux said. "This is too little, too late, but this is where we're at."
City leaders say the signs of a changing climate in Minnesota are impossible to ignore, from never-before-seen tornados in December to severe drought this summer that fueled wildfires and the dirtiest air on record. With the state failing to cut greenhouse gas emissions, there is a growing sense of urgency within this coalition. Many are reaching sustainability goals at the local level, but want more state and federal funding to slow the effects of climate change.
"I have two kids that are now teenagers, and I'm just terrified about the world that we're leaving them," said St. Louis Park City Council Member Larry Kraft, who is leading the coalition.
