Learn about our local government’s efforts to address climate change and ways you can be active at the local level at this free public presentation.

"Climate Change is the overriding issue of our time,” said Louise Petering, co-chair of LWVMC’s Climate Action Group. “We must support our local champions and their work in Milwaukee County to address this global issue." 

Presenters: 

– Erick Shambarger, Director, City of Milwaukee Environmental Collaboration Office

– Grant Helle, Director, Milwaukee County Office of Sustainability

The speakers lead the implementation of the County's Action 2050 Plan and the City's Climate and Equity Plan, which aim to address climate change and economic inequities in our area, achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

"Despite recent setbacks in climate action by the Trump Administration, local government, including the City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County, are pressing forward," Shambarger said. "We're excited to present bold climate projects for both government operations and the community at large, including efforts to dramatically expand access to electric vehicle charging.”

The event is co-sponsored by Citizen Action of WI, Healthy Climate WI, and Our Future Milwaukee. Register here.
