'Alaska's Changing Climate: Impacts, Policy and Action,' Nov. 14

by Michelle Saport  |   

Saturday, Nov. 14, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Student Union

Alaska Common Ground and the UAA College of Business and Public Policy, along with many other community partners, invite you to an important public forum. The free, non-partisan forum will look at the big picture of how climate change is affecting Alaska and what action we need to take to adapt to and mitigate these impacts. Speakers will discuss the science behind climate change and the impacts on Alaska physically, socially, economically and fiscally. Afternoon panels will look at policy and actions to move forward.

This forum aims to advance the conversation by:

  • Examining present and expected impacts on Alaska's physical and social environments as well as infrastructure and military investments;
  • Learning about climate change strategies and lessons from other states;
  • Hearing from state policy makers, community leaders and Alaska's youth on current actions and future climate change action plans; and
  • Exploring how individuals can participate in the conversation and take action.
