2025 CRSC Events

Local Governments and Climate Action. April 23 at Noon (Online) featuring the City of La Crosse, Monroe County, and the La Crosse School District  Register: tinyurl.com/25CRSCLocalClimate

According to the Rocky Mountain Institute, studies show that every $1 invested in climate resiliency can save up to $13 when a disaster occurs. As global warming and carbon emissions continue to rise, local governments are on the front lines of climate change consequences. 

We will hear representatives from three Coulee Region governmental bodies about their efforts to deal with climate change and prepare for the future. Mackenzie Mindel is a City of La Crosse Council Representative and Chair of its Climate Action Plan Steering Committee. Joe Ledvina is Director of Facilities for the La Crosse School District and a member of the district’s Climate Action Plan team. Bob Micheel, Monroe County Land Conservation Department Director, was co-leader of the county’s Climate Readiness and Rural Economic Assessment, and is now a member of its Climate Change Task Force.

With national climate action in question, now more than ever, local action is needed. How can community members encourage and support our communities, schools, and counties to take action now? Please register for the link at
