The Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters is hosting a community briefing to provide an update on their Climate Forward Report (2014) recommendations on the state and local response to our globally changing climate.

There have been many notable developments concerning climate and energy over the past few years in Wisconsin, and this afternoon event marks the publication of an update to the 2014 report that acknowledges clean energy progress in Wisconsin, flags missed opportunities where our state is falling behind neighboring states, and highlights opportunities that have emerged in the interim. The Wisconsin Academy will have copies of the update available at the event for legislators, members of the media, and the public.

Academy Executive Director Jane Elder and environmental initiatives coordinator Chelsea Chandler will provide a summary of our four key takeaways from the update report and lead a panel discussion with report steering committee members:

• Tyler Huebner, Executive Director, RENEW Wisconsin 
• John Imes, Executive Director, Wisconsin Environmental Initiative 
• Gary Radloff, Director of Midwest Energy Policy Analysis, Wisconsin Energy Institute 
• Mary Schlaefer, President & CEO, WECC
