Maplewood participates in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Gold Leaf Challenge which focuses on pathways for communities to take local climate action. The program aims to challenge, assist, and recognize cities' efforts for completing new actions from a list of 44 high-priority, high-impact climate actions under the categories of climate mitigation, climate planning, climate adaptation, community connectedness for Minnesota's changing climate. Under the guidance of the program, the City is completing its Climate Mitigation Plan and updating its Green Building Code.
