Regional Climate Leadership Summit
The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Leadership Summit was held Friday, October 23, 2009 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center, and hosted by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners in partnership with Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties. Local officials, federal and state legislators, regional transportation, planning and water management authorities, and members of the regional Climate Change/Green Task Forces representing the four counties made up the almost 500 participants. The purpose of this precedent-setting summit was to develop a regional collaboration that will support a coordinated climate change strategy, including the Four County Climate Collaboration Compact.
