The Successes of the 2021 South Florida Climate Leadership Summit

Body

Palm Beach County, on behalf of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, hosted the virtual 13th Annual Southeast Florida Regional Climate Leadership Summit in December 2021 and are very proud of this year's successes.

It was attended by 729 registrants, and we hosted over 70 speakers and panelists. We were thrilled to host keynote speakers that included Brenda Mallory, White House Council on Environmental Quality, Daniel Blackman, US EPA, Senator Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, Shannon Estenoz, US Fish & Wildlife Service, and Crystal Bergemann, US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. Panelists included state legislators, the South FL Water Management District, the US Army Corps of Engineers, county administrators, mayors, and other experts. During panels, we discussed affordable housing, climate-smart agriculture, investing in resilience, net-zero emissions, coastal resilience, extreme heat, and youth calls for climate action. We are humbled by everyone's work to help us seize the moment, together!
