Climate Adaptation Center events focus on Florida's climate challenges

Our events provide unique opportunities to bridge the gap between the latest scientific research and public sector understanding of Florida’s changing climate. Building on the success of the 2019 Climate Summit, the CAC will host a variety of in-person and virtual events going forward.

The cornerstone of our events program is the annual Florida Climate Conference, featuring a projection of the climate challenges Florida is likely to face in the future. CAC events are very popular — don’t miss the next one!

How Climate Warming Is Reshaping Florida’s Ecosystems

This year, the Climate Adaptation Center (CAC) brings together leading scientists and biodiversity experts for an immersive, solutions-driven event focused on one of the most urgent challenges of our time: the impact of climate warming on biodiversity.

From Florida’s coral reefs to its coastlines, wetlands, and wildlife, ecosystems across the state, and the planet, are under pressure. As species shift, vanish, or adapt, so must we. This conference will equip attendees with the science, strategies, and partnerships needed to protect biodiversity and the critical services it provides to people, economies, and future generations.

Whether you’re guiding decisions for your organization, community, government, or philanthropy, or simply want to understand what’s at stake, this event is designed for people who want to turn knowledge into action.

🌎 Learn what’s changing in Florida’s ecosystems
🌿 Understand how biodiversity loss affects everything from agriculture to tourism
💡 Discover innovative adaptation and resilience strategies from top experts
🤝 Connect with leaders shaping the future of Florida’s environment
