Conference Description 

This conference will discuss the global issue of climate change in the 
regional context of Wisconsin and the Great Lakes. It will feature 
presentations and discussions across many disciplines, focusing on 
challenges associated with climate changes for the region and potential 
practical solutions. The conference aims to reach a broader audience 
beyond the academic community, including business, government, 
and other community members that are involved in activities relevant to 
climate change. Over 30 speakers will present their perspective 
in many different themed sessions. Academics, government, and business 
representatives from many different disciplines, including 
architecture, biology, education, chemistry, civil engineering, economics, 
energy, geography, health sciences, information management, 
urban planning, water resources, and others will present their insights 
based on current research and experiences relating to climate change 
and sustainable development. This conference is being sponsored by the 
University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee Global Climate Change 
and Sustainable Development Initiative. Over the last two years, the 
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has formed a campus-
wide group of faculty and staff experts in disciplines varying from 
biology to economics to engineering and urban planning. This group is 
united in its commitment to develop a campus-wide, interdisciplinary 
institute for the study of global climate change and sustainable 
development.
