Montana Governor’s Climate Solutions Council

In December 2019, the Institute and Evolved Energy Research presented deep decarbonization pathways modeling results to Montana Governor Steve Bullock’s Climate Solutions Council, which was charged with developing strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prepare the state for climate impacts, foster innovation, and create economic development and workforce strategies for communities in transition.

During the summer of 2020, we worked with the Governor’s team to model Montana-specific results from our June 2019 Northwest Deep Decarbonization Pathways Study, which were incorporated into the Montana Solutions Plan that Governor Bullock announced on September 9, 2020.
