Organizing for a Resilient Future

Wisconsin's Climate Stories
Wednesday, April 5, 2023 - 3:30pm to 5:00pm

This first talk in Wisconsin’s Climate Stories series featured personal stories from three young women leading the charge in building climate change resilient communities. Each speaker shared her unique experience in organizing for climate change action and what inspired them to get involved. Watch the recording to listen to their stories and hear the debrief from breakout rooms designed to further climate action. 

The Wisconsin’s Climate Stories series features three talks in the spring of 2023. This series is designed to further the work from the 2022 Climate Fast Forward conference, broaden participants’ networks, and raise awareness of climate change success stories from across Wisconsin.
