La Follette Forum: Climate Policy
to
Ben Brinker
Katharine Wilkinson is an author and co-founder of The All We Can Save Project, focusing on climate change topics.
As the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns, the planet is warming at an unprecedented rate due to human activity. Some of the resulting global changes are irreversible; some are not. The bleak news in the Aug. 9 IPCC report makes the La Follette Forum on Climate Policy all the more important. Hosted by the UW-Madison La Follette School of Public Affairs, the conference will feature researchers, policymakers and community leaders talking about climate issues and solutions. Discussion topics include the role of youth activists in addressing the climate crisis, how agriculture interests can address and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change, and much more, including a keynote by Katharine Wilkinson, a co-founder of the All We Can Save Project.
