Upcoming Events
The world’s warming climate is reshaping societies and threatening the global economy as we know it. CAC brings a Florida focus to global climate issues with our exciting series of conferences, seminars and briefings. Our events are squarely focused on the climate issues facing Florida today, including changing hurricanes, threats to our diverse ecosystems, and rising sea levels.
CAC events bring together experts from science, engineering, business and government in an interactive setting to help you understand what’s happening with Florida’s climate, what the future may hold, and what we can do about it.
The CAC’s 2023 Annual Climate Conference, held February 9th, 2023 at the University of South Florida’s Sarasota-Manatee campus, was a huge success! Our next event will celebrate Southwest Florida’s Climate Champions and their contributions to the cause of protecting our environment and the Florida way of life.
Help us honor our Climate Champions, nominated by you, at a lively awards ceremony hosted by CAC CEO Bob Bunting and CAC Director Elizabeth Moore on April 18th, 2023. Please join us to celebrate these individuals at our inaugural celebration, and help the CAC grow to further its mission.
