Will Steger and Martin Loken at the 2011 Changing Arctic Symposium.

We feature prominent climate scientists, leaders and authors to raise public awareness about the issue at public forums. Past public forums have included:

• The Changing Arctic: International Cooperation and Development. Over 80 people joined the Will Steger Foundation and partners for a thought-provoking conversation on The Changing Arctic on October 27th at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. The half-day event explored what a changing arctic, mainly an ice-free arctic, means for economics, the environment, diplomacy and security. (October 2011)
• Eyewitness Voices - North Pole Expedition Team Reflects on the Impacts of the Expedition on their Lives and the Planet (May 2011)
• The Climate Misinformation that Confused America [Video] with Dr. Naomi Oreskes (Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, August 2010)
• Edina Clean Energy Forum with Bill McKibben [Video] (August 2009)
• Global Warming Science and Solutions with Will Steger, J. Drake Hamilton and NASA's Dr. James Hansen [Video] (Science Museum of Minnesota, August 2008)

We also host a variety of community events with youth through our Emerging Leaders Program and with community partners including Minnesota Environmental Partnership, MPIRG, Oxfam, Fresh Energy, Renewable Energy Society, Minnesota State Fair Eco Experience and 350.org and MN350 to engage the public in climate action events.
