Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton and UW-Stevens Point are organizing a climate change summit at the university in December.
Lawton is asking municipal leaders across the state to assemble regional teams that will gather in Stevens Point on Dec. 12 to create a framework for regional and local responses to global climate change.
“This summit is designed to give local leaders the tools they need to address energy independence and climate change together,” Lawton said in a written statement. “We will develop a powerful statewide solutions network.”
