Rural climate dialogues in Minnesota

A case study on the use of a Citizens' Jury approach to give rural residents in Minnesota the resources and information they need to think critically and create sustainable community solutions.

Their representative recommendations address actual community needs, which are presented to local, state, and national policymakers.

The Rural Climate Dialogues took place in Stevens, Winona, and Itasca Counties in Minnesota from 2014-2016.
