The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact
In January 2010, Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties united to form the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact as a way to coordinate mitigation and adaptation activities across county lines.
Since then, the four Compact counties have advanced local and regional responses to—and preparations for—the effects of climate change. They have expanded to work with a growing number of federal, state, regional, municipal, nonprofit, academic, and private sector partners.
Today, the Compact represents a new form of regional climate governance designed to allow local governments to set the agenda for adaptation, while providing state and federal agencies with access to technical assistance and support.
The Compact’s work is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading examples of regional-scale climate action, and it continues to serve as an exemplary mechanism for collaboration on climate adaptation and mitigation efforts.
