In April 2020 the Mitchell Center was asked by the Governor\u2019s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future to lead a project focused on improving the\u00a0equity\u00a0outcomes of the Climate Action Plan being developed by the Maine Climate Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Through this project, the Mitchell Center is assisting the council to understand and improve the extent to which the draft strategies being considered ensure that the benefits of climate protection efforts are distributed equitably. The team is also addressing inequities in how the burdens created by climate change, and the policies designed to alleviate them, may affect people and communities.<\/p>\n

Linda\u00a0Silka<\/a>, Mitchell Center senior fellow,\u00a0David Hart<\/a>, Mitchell Center director, and Sara Kelemen, a 91¸£Àû graduate student in plant, soil, and environmental science, are leading the project.<\/p>\n
