The La Follette Forum: Climate Policy will be an in-person event hosted at Union South on UW–Madison’s campus. Panelists will join us in-person on October 6, with a select few joining virtually, and all keynotes will speak in-person. There are a limited number of spots available in-person attendees, so register early.
