Climate Forward 2017 Update Media & Community Briefing

Wednesday, June 28, 2017 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

There have been many notable developments concerning climate and energy over the past few years in Wisconsin since the Wisconsin Academy released its 2014 Climate Forward report. This media and community briefing comes on the publication of an update to our 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.

Academy Executive Director Jane Elder and Initiatives Director Chelsea Chandler 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
