Minneapolis Climate Week 101 | Why, When, How, Who
Every day, hundreds of organizations and thousands of people across Minnesota work to build our decarbonized, regenerative, resilient, equitable future.
Put another way, Minnesota is a hub for climate action.
Minneapolis Climate Week (Feb 1-5, 2027) is a five-day distributed, community-organized week to celebrate the vibrant work happening here, build connections, and accelerate solutions towards that cultivate that future.
People want a way into climate, and they want local, hopeful, grounded news about the work.
That's a (paraphrased) quote from the organizers of LA, SF, and San Diego's climate weeks. And, the vast majority of people globally believe climate change is real, existential, and human-caused (link). It's also solvable.
In this relaxed, 30-minute session, we'll cover:
→ What is Minneapolis Climate Week?
→ Why does it exist?
→ How can you get involved?
Who this event is for: anyone curious. Nonprofits, small businesses, faith communities, unions, neighborhood groups, students, career switchers, and people who've never been to a climate event. No experience needed.
You'll leave with: a clear picture of the week, a rough shape for your own idea (if you have one), and a next step that fits your time.
It'll be playful lightly interactive. Bring a question, a half-formed idea, or just your curiosity.
Hosted by the Minneapolis Climate Week team and (soon) our volunteer programming teams.
