Wildfires, hail, disease: As climate change continues to batter many agricultural sectors, the wine industry is coming together to find solutions.
International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA) was founded jointly in 2019 by Familia Torres, a wine company based in Spain, and Jackson Family Wines, headquartered in California. The mission of the IWCA is to reduce carbon emissions both in the vineyard and winery. As membership continues to grow and the organization evolves, the executive board recently hired its first executive director, Charlotte Hey. With 40 members across 10 countries, Hey must navigate the various communication and environmental needs of members while unifying this international community to meet the IWCA’s goals.
