SUMMARY:Wisconsin for Environmental Justice virtual Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:\nVirtual Briefing to Examine How Wisconsin Communities Can Hold Polluters Accountable for Climate CostsThank you to everyone who has already registered! If you have not registered yet, there’s still time to RSVP for our FREE virtual Lunch and Learn on Wednesday, July 22, at 11:00 AM.Wisconsin’s cities and counties are already absorbing the costs of climate change, including flooding, stormwater upgrades, road repairs, extreme-heat response, public health impacts, and damage to public infrastructure. A 2024 statewide analysis found that Wisconsin taxpayers will need to spend at least $16.7 billion through 2040 to protect communities from climate-related impacts, with local governments carrying most of that burden.There is a growing movement aimed at shifting some of these costs back to the major polluters responsible for them, drawing from successful accountability efforts related to opioids, PFAS, tobacco, and PCBs.Virtual Meeting Date: Wednesday, July 22 Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PMWhere: Virtual (Zoom)\n\n\n\nReserve your spot now ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc3lAK7VpkeNt-S6dy6DjyI0WqPP0u11HFCqPfHxQUFzAcDSg/viewform )\n\n\n\nThis briefing will cover:Projected climate costs facing Wisconsin communitiesHow these costs show up in local budgetsExamples from opioid, PFAS, tobacco, and PCB accountability casesHow local elected officials and staff can begin identifying local costsHow Wisconsin communities can engage in this strategy.Bring your lunch and your questions.
