Governor Whitmer chaired the Great Lakes Governors and Premiers, a coalition dedicated to fostering collaboration between U.S. states and Canadian provinces surrounding the Great Lakes. Under her leadership, the group focused on initiatives to protect the region’s freshwater resources, advance economic partnerships, and address pressing environmental challenges.
The Great Lakes are a vital economic and ecological asset, providing drinking water to millions, supporting industry and tourism, and sustaining diverse ecosystems. Whitmer’s leadership in this coalition reinforced Michigan’s role as a steward of these critical waterways, ensuring long-term sustainability and resilience in the face of climate change and pollution threats. This role aligns with her broader commitment to safeguarding Michigan’s natural resources and strengthening regional partnerships for a more sustainable future.
