SUMMARY:Freshwater Collaborative Water Policy Network Meeting: A New Way to Build Water\, Food\, and Energy Futures at the Intersection of New Trade Policy and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording here: \n \nThe Center for Water Policy hosted our next Freshwater Collaborative Water Policy Network Meeting\, moderated by Water Policy Specialist Anna Watson. This event featured a presentation from Hadi Veisi\, Assistant Professor at UW Stevens Point on his research titled “A New Way to Build Water\, Food\, and Energy Futures at the Intersection of New Trade Policy and Sustainability.” \nDespite ubiquitous use of scenarios in integrated assessment modeling\, there has been little scholarly attention to how they are developed and how different approaches can shape results. Most rely on scientific experts\, but the use of participatory stakeholder approaches is increasing. We present a case study on scenario development to investigate the effects of deglobalization on food\, energy\, and water systems in a region of the United States.  We combined input from the project team\, external stakeholders\, global change scenarios\, and the U.S. Department of Energy to create scenarios with combinations of higher and lower environmental sustainability and globalization. Scenario construction encountered several challenges: (a) reconciling stakeholder and expert input; (b) downscaling global scenarios to subnational contexts; (c) navigating group dynamics and embedded perspectives; and (d) integrating time-series data into dynamic models. We conclude with recommendations for integrating participatory approaches into expert-driven scenarios to accommodate subnational conditions and stakeholder priorities.\nThis Zoom presentation was for Freshwater Collaborative Water Policy Network members only.

SUMMARY:Milwaukee Journal Town Hall on Data Centers in Wisconsin
DESCRIPTION:Center for Water Policy Director\, Professor\, and Lynde B. Uihlein Endowed Chair Melissa Scanlan will be a panelist at the Milwaukee Journal’s Town Hall on Data Centers in Wisconsin. \n\n\n\nData centers have become a contentious issue\, as several massive projects have been proposed or recently approved in Wisconsin. In December\, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel asked readers to send us their questions — and nearly 300 responded. The majority centered on how much water and electricity data centers use and the impact on local resources. Therefore\, the first of three planned community events will center on answering your questions on water and power. In addition\, the event will feature experts on water and electrical usage who will help put the issues into context. \nThe panel also includes: \nArthur Harrington is an attorney at Godfrey and Kahn who specializes in environmental and energy law and teaches the first energy law course offered at Marquette Law School. \nLearn more and register for the event here.
