Webinar Series: Realizing Resilience: Coordinating efforts from across the Great Lakes basin
This webinar is the first of a three-part series from the Great Lakes Commission (GLC): Realizing Resilience: Coordinating efforts from across the Great Lakes basin. The webinar series is offered in advance of the Midwest Climate Resilience Conference, scheduled for October 20-22 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Staff from the University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership (MCAP) will preview the upcoming Midwest Climate Resilience Conference, and the Great Lakes Commission will provide an overview of GLC’s Action Plan for a Resilient Great Lakes Basin. This Action Plan helps to prioritize basin-wide efforts and forms a roadmap to advance climate resilience in the region.
In subsequent webinars, participants will hear from agencies and organizations that participate with the GLC’s Standing Committee on Climate Resilience. Webinar speakers will share examples of resilience implementation efforts throughout the region, referring to the goals of the Action Plan. We look forward to presenting this webinar series to help achieve a common baseline understanding of Great Lakes resilience efforts among participants prior to the conference.
Stay tuned for more details for future GLC webinars, planned for early August and late September, as part of the series Realizing Resilience: Coordinating efforts from across the Great Lakes basin!

The Great Lakes Commission, led by chair Mary Mertz, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, is a binational government agency established in 1955 to protect the Great Lakes and the economies and ecosystems they support. Its membership includes leaders from the eight U.S. states and two Canadian provinces in the Great Lakes basin. The GLC recommends policies and practices to balance the use, development, and conservation of the water resources of the Great Lakes and brings the region together to work on issues that no single community, state, province, or nation can tackle alone.
