Climate & Energy
Through the Climate & Energy Initiative, the Academy seeks to understand and address Wisconsin’s role in global climate change and explore diverse, sustainable, and equitable energy choices.
Climate Action Plan
In October 2022, nearly 400 experts and engaged leaders from across the state and backgrounds gathered for a day of action to identify the most achievable, impactful, and equitable climate solutions for Wisconsin. The resulting Climate Action Plan outlines the 36 priority actions to address the changing climate in Wisconsin.
