Park City • Climate change is often framed as a partisan issue, but it doesn’t have to be that way. That was the message agreed upon by a group of Summit and Wasatch County leaders, local academics and students who discussed climate change at a panel at the Park City Library on Wednesday.
“Climate change is way too important of an issue to be debated for the next 20 years,” said Mia Vinding, a high school student and environmental advocate from Park City who spoke on the panel. “We don’t have 20 years.”
The Mayors’ Town Hall on Air and Climate Solutions was sponsored by the Wasatch chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a nonprofit, bipartisan advocacy organization dedicated to addressing climate change.
