VOTE BECAUSE OUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON INFORMED CHOICES

The combination of more intense storms and rising seas poses a critical challenge for coastal infrastructure, particularly in Florida, where many communities are built near the water.



Hurricanes Milton and Helene caused major damage to coastal infrastructure, especially in the Tampa Bay area, such as Helene causing nearly 1.5 million gallons of sewage spilling in St. Petersburg and Milton leading to widespread power outages along the Gulf Coast.

Key Atlantic current could collapse soon, 'impacting the entire world for centuries to come,' leading climate scientists warn

NOAA awards grant to enhance decision-ready climate projections for diverse stakeholders

The University of Miami research will engage a wide array of stakeholders across five key themes: western water resources, heat waves, coastal flood risk, wildfire risk, and extreme wind events. It aims to provide access to crucial datasets and analysis procedures while promoting education for the next generation of climate projection translators.

Heat In climate emergency, conservation must become survival ecology

Earth faces a climate emergency which renders conservation goals largely obsolete. Current conservation actions are inadequate because they (i) underplay biodiversity's role in maintaining human civilisation, which contributes to its marginalisation, and (ii) rely on false assumptions of how to catalyse transformative change.

December 16 - 18, 2024 | 16th Annual Southeast Florida Climate Leadership Summit | Key West

The 16^th Annual Climate Leadership Summit, organized by the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact and hosted by Monroe County, is a key regional gathering aimed at exchanging knowledge, highlighting climate initiatives, involving leaders from various sectors, and fostering the necessary collaboration to address the climate crisis on a large scale.
