Climate Change Symposium

media release: The Center for Climatic Research (CCR) invites you to the 2023 Climate Change Symposium: Will Wisconsin become a Climate Haven? on Tuesday, Nov. 7, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery’s DeLuca Forum, 330 N. Orchard Street.

The Climate Change Symposium provides an opportunity for the community to learn about the effects of climate change on our natural resources and ecosystems, as well as economic and public policy implications. This year’s theme — Will Wisconsin become a Climate Haven? — will present a balanced and in-depth discussion about the possibility of climate-induced human migration to Wisconsin.

Hear presentations from three expert panelists, followed by a group Q & A. Panelists include:

• Alexandra Tempus, climate-change journalist and UW alumna
• Anna Haines, land use and community development professor, UW–Stevens Point and UW–Madison Division of Extension
• Steve Vavrus, CCR scientist and co-director, Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI)

Those who can’t attend in person can watch the livestream through PBS Wisconsin’s YouTube channel.
