Join us for a series of presentations and discussions about the future of energy in Wisconsin and abroad. Each forum will start with a presentation on the state of energy in Wisconsin and the US, followed by a moderated discussion. Light snacks and beverages will be served.

In 2014, the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters linked scientific and technical assessment with exploration of Wisconsin’s rich conservation heritage to highlight the challenges of climate change on life in our state and to recommend some plausible solutions. Climate Forward: A New Road Map examines five critical pathways for moving the state forward toward a safe, sustainable, and socially and economically strong future. Come hear about these pathways and learn about Wisconsin businesses, cities, farms, and other organizations that are already leading the way.
