An Eye on Global Water Resilience From a Miami Perspective

While climate change is a global issue, it’s felt on a local scale in Miami-Dade County. Since 1994, the region has experienced 4 inches of sea rise; 2 to 6 additional inches are expected by 2030, and up to 14 inches are expected by 2060. Therefore, the area finds itself at the front line of adaptation while actions are being taken by local officials, universities, and organizations to create a sound foundation of planning, policy, and public awareness.
