About the Compact
The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact was
executed by Broward, Miami -Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties
in January 2010 to coordinate mitigation and adaptation activities
across county lines. The Compact represents a new form of regional
climate governance designed to allow local governments to set the
agenda for adaptation while providing an efficient means for state and
federal agencies to engage with technical assistance and support.
At the conclusion of the first Southeast Florida Regional Climate
Leadership Summit on Oct. 23, 2009, four County representatives -
Broward County Commissioner Kristin Jacobs, Palm Beach County
Commissioner Shelley Vana, Miami -Dade County Commissioner Katy
Sorenson, and Monroe County Mayor George Neugent - signed the
Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact committing to
take it back to their County Commissions for review and adoption.
The Compact calls for the Counties to work cooperatively to:
• Develop annual Legislative Programs and jointly advocate for
state and federal policies and funding
• Dedicate staff time and resources to create a Southeast Florida
Regional Climate Action Plan to include mitigation and
adaptation strategies
• Meet annually in Regional Climate Summits to mark progress
and identify emerging issues.
Since 2009, the four Compact Counties have accomplished much
together and have also worked with a growing number of federal,
state, regional, municipal, nonprofit, academic and private sector
partners. Widely recognized as one of the nation's leading examples of
regional -scale climate action, the Compact continues to serve as the
mechanism to collaborate for climate adaptation.
