The Florida Climate Pledge
Florida Leaders
Florida is the most vulnerable state to climate change impacts. We are also still vulnerable to offshore drilling, even though we passed Amendment 9. We need to invest in renewable energies, like solar, that provide jobs, economic growth, protect our tourism industry, and our livelihoods. We need to support policies that will reduce our greenhouse gases by holding our polluters accountable. As a community we need to come together to protect our state, the future of our children, and our biodiversity.
