Highly developed coastal community
Flat and low-lying
Adjacent to natural resources of
national consequence
– Atlantic Reef System
– Everglades Natural System
– Florida Bay
A Region of
National Consequence
• 108 cities
• 3 international
airports
• 2 major seaports
• Military bases

What makes SE Florida vulnerable?
Physical characteristics
– Peninsula
– Low land elevations and
limited storage
– Dense coastal
development
– Shallow, transmissive
aquifer
– Substantially shaped by
water
Climate Change Pressures
• Threats to public and private
infrastructure
– Flooding
– Beach erosion
– Severe wind damage

Winter Storm, Dec. 2010

• Strains on water supplies
– Water shortages
– Salt water intrusion

• Compromised natural systems
– Everglades
– Coral reefs

State Road A1A, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Post Tropical Storm Sandy, Nov. 2012
Genesis of the Compact
• Recognition of:
– Shared vulnerabilities
and challenges
– Common airshed,
watershed, climate,
and natural resources
– Regional
transportation system
– Concurrent but
uncoordinated efforts
Regional Climate Leadership Summit
• 2009 Climate Leadership Summit
– 300+ attendees from
government, industry,
academia and community
• 1st regional platform for policy
leaders on climate mitigation and
adaptation
• Highlighted regional expertise and
resources
• Deliverable – Southeast Florida
Regional Climate Change
Compact
SE Florida Climate Change Compact
• Fully Ratified January 2010, provides for:
• Policy Collaboration
• Development of Regional Tools
• Unified SLR Projection
• Inundation Maps
• GHG Emissions Baseline
• Creation of a Regional Action
Plan
• Convening of Annual Summits
Compact Organizational Structure
(Administrators & Managers)
Mayors and/or Boards of County
Commissioners & Municipal Leaders

Compact
Staff Steering

Policy Development,
Coordination & Advocacy
Team

Regional Climate
Team
Expansion of Steering Committee
• Two representatives from each county
government
• One municipal representative from each
county
• Non-voting representatives
– Environmental
– Regional Water Management
– Facilitators/Advisors
Collaborating Partners Lending Expertise
Regional GHG Baseline
Unified Sea Level Rise Projection

Key West

Timeline of Sea Level Rise in SE FL
1 foot = 2040 – 2070

2 foot = 2060 – 2115

3 foot = 2075-2150
Vulnerability Assessments
• Inundation Mapping
– Regional digital elevation model

– 1, 2, and 3 foot scenarios
– Common method to express
potential risk
– Identifies areas with LiDAR
elevation at the mean higher high
water line

• Vulnerability Analysis
– Prioritized infrastructure for
analysis
– Tested geospatial analytical
methods
– Included uncertainty
Economic Assessment

–
–
–

Governmental Agencies
Private Industry
Academic Institutions
Not-for-profits
Others

• Topical Work Groups:
– Built Environment
– Transportation
– Land and Natural Systems
– Agriculture
• Role of Work Groups:
– Develop recommendations
– Assist with response to public
comment

Focus on gaining efficiency and
effectiveness through regional
strategies and coordination

Compact Advocacy
• Support for local/regional efforts, and the need to plan
for SLR
• Integration of adaptation/resilience into policies,
planning, and infrastructure projects
• Funding for resilient
infrastructure
• Federal support for beach
projects
• Support for GHG emissions
reductions including renewables,
E conservation and transit funding
Benefits of Regional Approach
• Foster partnerships with federal, state, and
regional agencies
• Accelerate planning process with advantage of
shared expertise and resources
• Bring added credibility to work products and
process
• Use collective influence to advance regional
priorities
• Attract resources to advance implementation

  2. Port Everglades– worlds second most active cruise port, among the most active cargo ports in the U.S, and generates 18 billion annually in economic activity,
  3. 5.8 million residentsDense coastal developmentFlat and low lyingProne to flooding and with vulnerable water supplies20% of Broward County is less than 5 feet above sea levelAverage elevation in miami-dade is 6 feetSome portions of Monroe County are barely above sea level24 miles of coastline
  4. Even with mitigation, South Florida will need to adapt to certain climate change impacts that are inevitable. Coastal/Tidal FloodingInland FloodingBeach ErosionWind DamageWater ShortagesSaltwater intrusion into wellfieldsAnd Impacts to natural resources of national significance As you know, these conditions already influence life in south Florida and challenge planning efforts, but these conditions will grow more frequent and severe in the absence of major investments by our community.It is this realization that brought the counties of South Florida together to form the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact.
  5. The four counties of the SE FL Regional Climate Change Compact brought together a group of local sea level rise experts to develop a sea level rise projection for our region. The blue line on the left shows part of the long term record from Key West. Over the last 100 years, sea level has risen 8-10 inches. If that trend continued, we would expect 5 inches of sea level rise by mid century. However, experts agree that we will be experiencing an acceleration on sea level rise during this century, expecting 3-7 inches of sea level rise from todays levels by 2030 and up to 2 feet of sea level rise in the next 50 years.
  6. $53 M/year in BrowardBeaches support our local economy P[> $4 billion in infrastructure (in Broward alone)Beach erosion control efforts cost Broward County an estimated $8.5M/yearCosts will escalate as erosion is exacerbated by rising seas and increasing storm intensity
