The proposed bill establishes a voluntary Climate Literacy Seal for high school students in Minnesota, aimed at recognizing those who demonstrate mastery in climate literacy and acquire green skills or technical green skills. The bill outlines definitions related to climate literacy, including what constitutes a climate literacy final experiential learning project, and specifies the requirements for students to obtain the seal. To earn the seal, students must meet graduation requirements, complete at least two approved climate literacy courses, and successfully execute a final project that addresses local climate issues. Participating schools are required to notate the seal on student transcripts and may affix it to diplomas without charging a fee.

Additionally, the bill mandates that participating schools provide information about the Climate Literacy Seal to students and their guardians, evaluate final project proposals, and collect data on participation and project types. Schools must submit annual reports to the commissioner of education, who will then compile and present an evaluation report to legislative committees. The bill emphasizes collaboration with local businesses and organizations to enhance workforce development in green skills. The provisions of the bill will take effect the day after final enactment.
