MADISON, Wis. The Governor s Task Force on Climate Change released its final report detailing actions the state can take to address a changing environment.
The Report includes 55 climate solutions aimed at reducing carbon emissions, bolstering the green energy economy, building resilience to intense weather events, and protecting existing resources.
“I think with this report we have an opportunity to push Wisconsin into a clean energy future,” said Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes (D-Wisconsin). “What that means is we re providing economic opportunities, we re providing opportunities for a cleaner, safer and healthier environment for folks all across Wisconsin.”
Barnes chaired the Task Force which included stakeholders from various industries, local governments, tribal groups, and nonprofits. Governor Tony Evers (D-Wisconsin) created the task force with an executive order in 2019.
