The Idaho Climate-Economy Impacts Assessment is a nonpartisan, science-based resource to help Idaho business leaders and policymakers plan for a resilient Idaho economy. All assessment content is available online at the website www.uidaho.edu/iceia.

The Idaho Conservation League is hosting a 4 part deep dive series into four areas related to their climate campaign work: water, health, energy and agriculture. 

Energy is both a cause of and solution to our changing climate, according to the recent Idaho Climate-Economy Impacts Assessment from the McClure Center at University of Idaho. Join us in a discussion of the risks and opportunities in Idaho’s energy sector as part three of ICL’s four-part series about this landmark report. Amber Bieg from Warm Springs Consulting and ICL’s own Ben Otto, will discuss how climate change is affecting the hydrosystem, how economic and environmental forces are causing utilities to reduce the fossil-fuels we import from other states, and Idaho’s opportunity to use the energy sources within our borders to secure a clean, reliable, and affordable future for Idaho. We look forward to your questions as well.
