This webinar is the second of a three-part series from the Great Lakes Commission (GLC): Realizing Resilience: Coordinating efforts from across the Great Lakes basin. The webinar series is offered in advance of the Midwest Climate Resilience Conference, scheduled for October 20-22 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

In this webinar, participants will hear from agencies and organizations that participate with the GLC’s Standing Committee on Climate Resilience and operate across the basin. An audience Q&A will follow the presentations.

Webinar speakers will share examples of resilience implementation efforts throughout the region, referring to the goals of the Action Plan for a Resilient Great Lakes Basin. This Action Plan helps to prioritize basin-wide efforts and forms a roadmap to advance climate resilience in the region. We’re thrilled to welcome the following agencies/organizations and speakers:

• Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative
  • Travis Wheeler, Chief Policy Officer
• USGS Great Lakes Science Center
  • Wes Bickford, Biologist
• Wisconsin Wetlands Association and NOAA Office for Coastal Management
  • Kyle Magyera, Local Government Outreach Specialist (grantee, NOAA Climate Resilience Regional Challenge)

GLC is presenting this three-part webinar series to help achieve a common baseline understanding of Great Lakes resilience efforts prior to the conference. Stay tuned for the third and final webinar of the Realizing Resilience series, planned for late September!
