UW College of the Environment Dean Lisa Graumlich joined Representative Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) at the State of the Union on February 5, 2019. Dean Graumlich was on-hand to help focus attention on the urgency of climate change and attended the address as a guest of Representative Jayapal.
“The Washington Congressional delegation have been long-time and staunch champions of UW’s College of the Environment, and particularly our efforts on sustainability, ocean acidification, forest fires and climate change. As scientists, we know that the world has already warmed as a result of human activity,” said Dean Graumlich. “Our champions share our understanding that continued global warming is and will continue to pose challenges to our economy, our culture and our ecosystem. It is an honor to be the guest of Rep. Jayapal at the State of the Union as she continues to use her voice to raise awareness of this issue and its critical impacts.”
