The Climate Change Story Slam featured storytellers from around Wisconsin who shared stories about how climate change has affected their lives, how they have coped, and what they’re doing about it. Stories ranged from one-time encounters with the effects of climate change, to careers dedicated to fighting for a safe and sustainable environmental future. This event was in partnership with Mad City Story Slam and the Madison Public Library.
