Speakers include Don Shelby, J. Drake Hamilton and Will Steger with moderation from MPR's Mid-morning host, Kerri Miller.

Speakers will share their connection to Minnesota, how climate change is impacting their sense of place, and why they are concerned about the issue and how this impacts their daily lives. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change on our state’s natural resources and what we as citizens can do through the personal stories and “testimony” of prominent Minnesotans.

Event is open to the general public and is part of the Will Steger Foundation's Summer Institute on Climate Change Education, which focuses specifically on Minnesota's changing climate this year.
