Our community has lost a legendary public servant who first elevated #sealevelrise & #climatechange as critical issues in #SEFL. We owe #HarveyRuvin a huge debt of gratitude & will continue on the important work he devoted his life to advancing. miamiherald.com/news/local/c…

South Florida’s drainage system isn’t working as well as it used to. Most of our drainage system relies on gravity. During heavy rains, water either seeps into the ground or it flows downhill into pipes and canals that eventually wash out to sea. miamiherald.com/news/local/e…

Former Congressman @carloslcurbelo on a federal #carbontax: "People call it a tax, and it technically is, but in reality it is just a recognition of a cost that is already out there, and we are already paying for." #SEFLClimateSummit

State Rep @Robin_Bartleman: "When we talk about #bipartisan support & leadership from the governor’s office–there are 2 new committees: infra strategies com. & hurricane resiliency&recovery com. Every wk we are going to be discussing what we can do to build a more #resilientFL."

Frmr Rep @carloslcurbelo at the #SEFLClimateSummit: "Why is bipartisanship important? It is not an end, but a means to meaningful, durable policy. For a challenge like #climatechange, we want policy to have staying power. We don’t want it to blow away w/ the political winds."

Day two of @SEFL_Compact starts with Rafe Pomerance’s pitch on how to keep Florida above water. Behind him is a proclamation from former Fl Gov Lawton Chiles proclaiming “global warming awareness week” in the 90s.

#FL should establish an #upperlimit for #SLR. How much SLR can FL take& maintain viability? An upper limit to SLR means that FL & the US has to find an emissions path consistent w/ that upper limit. The task is to decide what that # is &make it central to policy. @RethinkEnergyFL

We were so honored to have @Alice_C_Hill keynote at this year's #SEFLClimateSummit and for her time to meet with our amazing local students who are the #nextgen #climateleaders!
I loved meeting the student and teacher superstars of Broward County—they are focused on solving the climate crisis.
