Patty Glick Senior Global Warming Specialist, National Wildlife Federation Patricia Glick is Senior Global Warming Specialist at the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). She has been dedicated to the issue of climate change for more than 16 years and has played an important role in educating a diverse constituency of Americans about the issue, as well as developing and promoting meaningful policy solutions. For the past ten years, Ms. Glick has been instrumental in helping the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) build a targeted grassroots global warming campaign, recognizing the critical importance of bringing the issue of global warming "home" to Americans in order to galvanize them toward action. Much of her work has focused on translating the science of global warming and its impacts on fish and wildlife into creative and understandable outreach tools (some of which are listed below). In addition, Ms. Glick conducts presentations and works closely with the media to help communicate the issue to stakeholders and the public.

Prior to joining NWF, Ms. Glick served two years as a Senior Fellow for the Sierra Club in Washington, D.C., where she worked with the Club’s Global Warming and Energy Program to study the economic and social costs of climate change around the world. She has also conducted policy-related analysis of U.S. energy markets for The Alliance to Save Energy and worked as a transportation and energy economist for the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation. Ms. Glick received an M.S. degree in economics from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and a B.A. from Sweet Briar College in Virginia.
