Green Action

In January 2010, Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties united to form the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact as a way to coordinate mitigation and adaptation activities across county lines.

Since then, the four Compact counties have advanced local and regional responses to—and preparations for—the effects of climate change. They have expanded to work with a growing number of federal, state, regional, municipal, nonprofit, academic, and private sector partners.
