Grant Overview
Expand to read about this Florida funding opportunity and other eligibility considerations.
Florida's unique geography, with over 1,350 miles of coastline, makes it particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Rising sea levels and increased frequency of extreme weather events threaten not only the state's tourism industry but also its critical infrastructure and agricultural sectors. The Climate Change Advocacy Program in Florida addresses this challenge by empowering high school students to become climate change advocates through community projects and policy advocacy training. With 35% of Florida's population living in coastal counties, this program focuses on developing the next generation of environmental leaders who can drive change at the local level. Florida's diverse economy, with major industries in tourism, agriculture, and international trade, requires a workforce that is equipped to address climate-related challenges. The program's emphasis on community engagement and policy advocacy helps to build a pipeline of young leaders who can navigate the complexities of environmental policy. Unlike neighboring states, Florida's climate change initiatives must contend with a unique set of challenges related to its coastal geography and large retiree population. The state's aging population, with over 20% of residents aged 65 or older, requires special consideration in climate change planning. By partnering with environmental organizations, students lead initiatives to raise awareness about climate-related issues, promoting civic engagement and community resilience. The program's focus on underserved communities ensures that diverse voices contribute to environmental policy discussions, helping to develop more effective and equitable solutions. With Florida's population projected to grow by 15% by 2030, this program is critical in preparing the next generation of environmental leaders. The state's infrastructure, including its extensive network of roads, bridges, and ports, will require significant investment to withstand the impacts of climate change. By developing young leaders who can advocate for climate-resilient infrastructure, the program helps to ensure a more sustainable future for Florida. ## Climate Change in Florida's Coastal Communities ## Addressing the Needs of Florida's Diverse Population ## Building Resilience in Florida's Infrastructure
