Midwest Climate Collaborative Launches

UW-Madison, together with more than 15 partners across the region, launched the Midwest Climate Collaborative on Jan. 28. The MCC is a network of organizations committed to accelerating climate action in the Midwest by leveraging science and research, shaping public understanding and policy, advancing climate solutions, and developing future leaders.

Director Heather Navarro shares how agriculture and other key Midwestern industries are a part of that conversation. She says her first order of business is bringing the private sector to the table so they share a voice in the conversation around climate action policy.

The collaborative emerged from the Midwest Climate Summit, which reached more than 1,300 participants in fall 2020 and featured a Student Systems Conference co-organized by UW-Madison undergraduate Natalie Tinsen. In summer 2021, another event covered federal climate strategy, featuring speakers from the White House, Department of Energy, Department of Transportation and Environmental Protection Agency.

“Climate change is a shared crisis that requires shared solutions,” says Chancellor Rebecca Blank, noting that UW-Madison has an important leadership role to play as a founding member of the MCC. “The Midwest Climate Collaborative will do the vital work of convening leading academic institutions, businesses and community organizations to create those solutions for the entire region.”
