FACING THE FUTURE: SOUTH FLORIDA VS CLIMATE CHANGE FILM SCREENING

Densely developed, low-lying South Florida is one of the most vulnerable regions to sea-level rise and climate change in the U.S. and the world. This film documents a number of important efforts our community is taking to raise awareness of these challenges and address the impacts already being felt throughout the region.

Throughout the 2024 hurricane season, our film crew travelled across South Florida to document projects and initiatives underway now to address the multiple issues impacting the health and the future of the environment and the region’s communities.

These projects include: Monroe County road-raising efforts in Key Largo, the Florida Wildlife Corridor, Broward County community conversation events, The Underwater art project in Miami-Dade county parks, The CLEO Institute education and awareness programs, and the citizen science efforts of the FIU Sea Level Solutions Center. The film follows select climate practitioners throughout the year, culminating the week before Christmas in Key West at the Compact’s annual summit, where many of the film’s subjects gather to assess the current situation and express their hopes for the future.
