Brown Bag Lunch and Learn: 

Climate Change, Wicked Solutions for a Wicked Problem

Climate Change: Wicked Solutions for a Wicked Problem is the title of a free presentation by Dr. Peter Haug from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, January 11 in The Center at Colfax Library. Attendees are encouraged to bring a sack lunch or just come to learn.

During this 30 minute presentation, Dr. Haug will discuss the clear trends that are occurring with climate change including where we are now; where we seem to be going; and why this is a “wicked problem”.  Community input and discussion will be encouraged as well.

Dr. Haug does have some good news related to climate change including the technological advances and market forces that are moving fairly quickly. For example, Las Vegas is now running on 100% renewable energy. Dr.  Haug will also emphasize what we as individuals, communities, and institutions can do to develop long-term, win-win strategies to make the best use of advancing technologies.

Dr. Peter Haug’s career in environmental impact analysis spans nearly 30 years including experience using computer models to analyze ecological systems, and spent more than two decades studying environmental impacts for state and federal agencies.
