The Climate Cabinet was established by Governor Shumlin in May 2011. It is comprised
of senior government officials including the Secretaries of Administration, Agriculture Food and Markets, Commerce
and Community Development, and Transportation; the Commissioners of the Departments of Economic,
Housing and Community Development, of the Department of Buildings and General Services and the
Department of Public Service. The Agency of Natural Resources is designated as the lead agency with the
ANR Secretary serving as the cabinet chair.
The cabinet is charged with providing comprehensive leadership by coordinating climate change efforts,
including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions & reliance on fossil fuels, providing outreach and education
as well as implementing climate change adaptation efforts across all state agencies and departments.
The Climate Cabinet was reconstituted in December 2012 by Executive Order 15-12
Since its creation in May 2011, the Climate Cabinet has been primarily engaged in supporting the Department
of Public Service in the development of the state’s Comprehensive Energy Plan (CEP). With finalization
of that plan, the cabinet is working to prioritize and implement the recommendations of the CEP for
2012 and beyond. In addition, the effects of Tropical Storm Irene have highlighted the need for additional
planning and action so that our communities, landscape and infrastructure are better able to weather similar
events that are predicted to become more frequent in the coming years.
