Commission Meeting Date: 09/24/2020 Sponsored By: Ken Russell
District Impacted: All
Type: Resolution
Subject: Adopt - The 2019 Update of the Unified Sea Level Rise Projections for Southeast
Florida
Purpose of Item:
A Resolution of the Miami City Commission adopting the 2019 update of the Unified
Sea Level Rise Projections for Southeast Florida prepared by the Southeast Florida
Regional Climate Change Compact.
Background of Item:
The purpose of this is to adopt the Unified Regional Sea Level Rise Projection — 2019
update of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact for use by staff as
the basis for sea level rise adaptation planning. Additionally, all City infrastructure
projects shall consider these regionally consistent unified sea level rise projections
during all project phases, including but not limited to planning, design and construction,
in order to ensure that infrastructure projects will function properly for fifty (50) years or
the design life of the project, whichever is greater. Finally, the City shall consider these
sea level rise projections into updates to land use plans and codes.
The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (Compact) was formed in
2010 when Monroe, Miami -Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties agreed to
collaborate on climate change policies and action. Since then, staff of the four counties,
other regional stakeholders, and subject matter experts have worked together to create
technical resources to guide regional planning and action in response to climate change
impacts.
The Compact's Unified Regional Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida is a
key planning tool that is updated at least every 5 years to provide current guidance for a
common, geographically -relevant sea level rise (SLR) projection for Southeast Florida.
The 2019 Updated Projection is the third update of the Compact's Unified Regional Sea
Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida that was first developed and released in
2011 and was subsequently updated in 2015. The City had previously relied upon the
2015 Unified Regional Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida published by the
Compact. The 2019 Updated Projection represents a consensus from a technical work
group comprised of members from the academic community and federal agencies, with
support from local government staff. It incorporates the most up-to-date, peer -reviewed
literature and climate modeling data.
