Florida Annual Climate Summary for 2021 Released
The Florida Climate Center has released their 2021 annual climate summary for the state of Florida. 2021 saw continued warmth across the state, tying with 2018 as the 8th-warmest year in the instrumental record. 2021 marked the 11th year in a row with above-average temperatures statewide, and 21 out of the past 22 years have been warmer than the historical average in Florida. Many counties recorded one of their top 10 warmest years on record.

For the 2nd year, UF students from Architecture, Historic Preservation, and Journalism will participate in the Envision Resilience Challenge. FCI Coordinator, Carolyn Cox, has been working with the ReMain Nantucket team again to provide this opportunity for UF students to collaborate across disciplines and across universities. This year, students will collaborate with other teams from Northeastern, RISD/Brown, Roger Williams, Syracuse, and U Rhode Island in looking at the Narragansett Bay under sea level rise and climate impacts.

Presented by the Food Systems Institute (FSI) on March 3rd, 2022 at the University of Florida.
FSI's vision is to develop transformative and sustainable, participatory research-based solutions that enhance nutrition, health, livelihoods, and the environment globally through improved food systems. We plan to do just that by bringing together great thinkers—academics, students, business leaders, farmers, growers, and policymakers—researching and implementing innovative ways to reduce the carbon footprint of food systems at this year’s Future of Food Forum. The Forum is a great opportunity for you to bring home innovative and actionable ideas from some of today’s leading thinkers on how to reduce the carbon footprint of food systems. Our keynote speaker Eric Fyrwald, Chief Executive Officer of Syngenta Group, will share innovations on how to reach carbon neutral agriculture from the perspective of one of the largest global agriculture companies.
