Partnering for Climate Resilience

Miami-Dade, often desired for its weather, is also located in a in tropical zone on the east coast of Florida, putting it at high risk for sea level rise, extreme heat, hurricanes, and more. To ensure that Miami could withstand extreme weather, it needed to overcome extreme topic politicization and silos. That's when three municipalities, along with a community foundation, came together to collectively create Resilient305, a long-term resilience plan, elevate resilience leadership within government, engage residents, and take action to tackle climate vulnerabilities. Learn creative approaches to addressing complex issues through unlikely collaborations and how Foundations can flex their superpowers to convene partners and stakeholders.
