Health Equity Network Open Space
The Minnesota Health Equity Networks will host ongoing "open space" for our communities across the state. This is a space for people to come in as needed to discuss or troubleshoot what is emerging in their communities, workplaces, in the public health system with a network coordinator, network staff member, and other community members. We will strive to create a space that is welcoming, supportive, friendly, and as confidential as possible.

In 2022, the State of Minnesota released the Climate Action Framework (CAF) — a vision for how our state will address and prepare for climate change. The state is updating the Climate Action Framework in 2025 to include a more comprehensive set of actions and projections of greenhouse gas emissions reductions, with a stronger focus on local government collaboration, community benefits, and workforce needs. The Climate and Health team at the Minnesota Department of Health is seeking input from health equity practitioners in the development of the CAF. Please join us for a Climate and Health mini-gathering to learn about the 2025 CAF and share your insights to help ensure the CAF reflects and benefits the communities you serve.
