Advancing Regional Climate Resilience for Minnesota’s Lake Superior Coastal Region

Recipient: St. Louis County
Funding Amount: $1,849,228

This project will unite collaborators under the shared priority of proactively addressing the impacts of climate change in the coastal region of Minnesota’s Lake Superior—the largest Great Lake and second largest freshwater lake in the world. Project goals will be achieved through five overarching strategies: 1) establishing a regional resilience collaborative; 2) incorporating Indigenous knowledge; 3) building community capacity; 4) creating a regional resilience plan and pathways to implementation; and 5) providing resources and technical support to communities. An important aspect of the effort will involve engagement with tribal nations and local communities.
