HomeClimate & Resilience

The Climate Resilience Team helps ensure that every decision by local government is made through a community resilience lens. We work to:


  • protect vulnerable populations from the effects of climate change
  • educate the public and government entities to build support for important investments in climate resilience
  • communicate up-to-date information and best practices for climate resilience
  • carry forward our League climate resiliency support positions through advocacy
  • conduct further study and research, including local climate risks and opportunities



Educational Video Series


What changes might we expect from the warming climate, and how can our local communities be more prepared and resilient in the face of those changes?


The LWV-Appleton Climate Change Preparedness and Resilience Study Committee is creating a series of short educational videos (each around 10 minutes) on various topics related to Climate Resilience and Preparedness to educate League membership and the public.
