ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We are grateful for the commitment, time, and collaboration of all the WICCI participants, including the fourteen working groups, Science Advisory Board, and Working Groups Council. Without their dedication this report could not have been written. Their work will help Wisconsin face climate challenges in the years to come. We are also grateful to everyone who participated in interviews for this report. By sharing their stories and expertise, we were better able to illustrate the impacts of climate change in Wisconsin.

We acknowledge the work of WICCI Science Writer Dea Larsen Converse and WICCI Coordinator Shruti Sarode, who coordinated and organized the publication of this report. We also acknowledge WICCI Climate Intern Alli Wenman for helping us begin to strategically address environmental and climate justice concerns.

We are indebted to the University of Wisconsin (UW)’s Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies whose communications team provided expert strategic communications direction and graphic design. We thank them for their patience as we navigated the contributions of the over 200 scientists and more than 50 organizations who contributed to this report.
