Described by President Barack Obama as “a model not just for the country but for the world,” the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (https://southeastfloridaclimatecompact.org) is a regional partnership of Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties that represents over six million residents and includes 109 municipalities. This unique, bipartisan partnership collaboratively responds to climate threats and increases community resilience through its thought leadership and coordinated action.
The Annual Summit is the Climate Compact’s flagship event and is expected to draw over 600 attendees including elected officials, government staff, and leaders from the business, non-profit, academic, and youth sectors. With the theme of “Seizing the Moment, Together,” the 13th Annual Summit will share success stories that highlight the need for ambitious, comprehensive, and equitable climate adaptation and mitigation action in South Florida.
