Minnesota Guidance on Climate Impacts in Environmental Review

In December 2022, Minnesota updated its procedures for conducting environmental review under the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act to require developers of new highways, industrial plants, livestock feedlots and large housing developments to calculate their project’s carbon footprint and consider how to reduce their impact on the climate. Guidance is now available on the state’s Environmental Assessment Worksheet form for assessing the carbon impacts of different projects.
