Green Success Stories sat down with Wendi Wilkes, Executive Vice President of Current Strategies. Wendi describes the deep impression left on her by a severe drought in Texas when she was working on a ranch, and how it helped her recognize the deep, personal and economic impact caused by scarcity of water. She came to understand the confluence of water security, food systems, economies, and public health, and has since devoted her efforts to water and infrastructure policy at the local, state, and federal levels. Wendi hopes people recognize that “climate solutions don’t live in silos, but rather that public health, equity, and economic opportunity are deeply connected —and progress happens fastest when we treat them that way.”
