Objectives Many initiatives in the Southeast Florida region highlight the strong connection between a sustainable environment and a healthy economy. Global climate change is likely to affect both of these priorities. Local and regional governments in Southeast Florida will make significant investments in mitigating and adapting to climate change with special consideration of the factors that make our region particularly vulnerable, including low land elevations, flat topography, and water supplies subject to saltwater intrusion. Rising temperatures and sea levels associated with a warming climate will pose challenges in our maintenance of drainage and flood control, delivery of a sustainable water supply, and preservation of the health of our unique natural systems — the Atlantic coral reefs and the Everglades. In recognition of the urgency for action and the need for a collaborative approach, elected officials, leaders in climate policy and representatives of regional planning agencies in Southeast Florida are coming together as part of this Summit to begin discussions addressing the threat of climate change to Southeast Florida’s future, and a collaborative response. The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Leadership Summit is being hosted by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners in partnership with Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties. In addition to 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 are participating. The purpose of the summit is to develop a regional collaboration that will support a coordinated climate change strategy. The program features speakers of national stature on climate change policy, mitigation needs, and adaptation strategies. A morning panel session will be held among local officials and members representing the various county-level Climate Change and Green Task Forces to discuss local policy commitments and priorities as well as the specific challenges, vulnerabilities, and needs identified through the activities of the Task Forces. The afternoon panels include a technical discussion of specific climate change mitigation and adaptation issues of regional concern. The concluding session emphasizes the value of a regional climate change strategy for Southeast Florida, with consideration of key elements and focal points that encourage collaboration. The summit will conclude with a press conference at 3:45 p.m. highlighting the major accomplishments of the event. Acknowledgements Summit organizers gratefully acknowledge the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau for their generous support of this event, including complimentary rooms and parking, and for providing the carbon offsets for this event. We thank invited speakers and panelists for lending their expertise and perspective to the Summit agenda and dialog, and the attendees for their participation and support for a regional initiative of this nature. We wish to recognize our sponsors whose generosity helped to offset the costs of the Summit and affirms the community’s understanding of the threats posed by climate change to Southeast Florida and the need for regional action. Special thanks are extended to the Climate Leadership Initiative for assistance provided in all aspects of Summit planning and to partner counties and their staffs for their coordination efforts.

10 Sustainable Practices at this Summit This summit was organized with sustainable practices in mind. Electronic Outreach and Coordination: In order to minimize the use of paper and gas emissions from mail delivery, a significant portion of the outreach and registration was conducted electronically. Conference calling was used whenever possible for the coordination of meetings, and to reduce carbon emissions associated with travel. This program was printed on recycled paper by Broward County’s Print Shop, an environmentally friendly operation. All presses use soy-based ink and chlorine-free solutions. Paper comes from sustainable forests. The Print Shop’s computer-to-plate imaging printing system is 100 percent chemistry-free and uses recyclable metal plates for printing. Hotel Accommodations: Hotels listed in the registration materials have earned Florida Green Lodging certification from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. This program acknowledges lodging facilities that demonstrate sustainable practices within the industry. Webcasting: Recognizing the level of interest by public and private entities, seating limitations and the desire to minimize emissions from travel, the general session of the summit is being Webcast the day of the event at www.broward.org/ climatechange. Convention Center Practices: The 600,000-square-foot Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center has adopted its own set of green and sustainable initiatives, which include programs for energy efficiency, recycling, water conservation and waste reduction. The Center donates leftover banquet food to a local food bank and uses biodegradable cups and cutlery made from corn and potatoes. The waterfront Convention Center is currently in the process of making building retrofits and additional operational changes to gain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Carbon Offsets: Carbon offsets for this summit were arranged using the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau (GFLCVB) Plan.It.Green program. This initiative is specifically designed to help offset the carbon footprint from meetings and conventions. Adopting the adage “regroup, recharge, replant,” the GFLCVB has partnered with the Broward County Parks and Recreation Division to replenish native trees and green buffers in a local park on behalf of meeting and convention groups. The trees planted to offset the carbon footprint associated with the convening of this Summit will offer the community the benefits of temperature- reducing shade, beauty and habitat while sequestering carbon dioxide. Social Responsibility: With green practices incorporated at the Convention Center, we ask that summit attendees take action to be green by: • Recycling beverage containers and paper waste in the bins provided; and • Returning your name badge at the end of the summit to the registration desk.
