Climate variability and change pose significant economic and environmental risks to Florida. This project focuses on identifying current State University climate change expertise, research and curricula; enhancing cooperation with State and Federal agencies to bring science into climate change-related decision making; and developing a climate change information system and portal that will connect State University System (SUS) assets with these agencies, private industries, and other groups to facilitate communication.

On November 14 and 15, scientists, agencies, and industry gathered at the University of Florida to discuss climate issues.
