Florida’s Climate Future is a website that uses public data from leading climate scientists to illustrate problems caused by climate change. The website breaks down these issues into three areas: energy insecurity, extreme heat, and storms and floods. 

Developed by the Environmental Defense Fund with partners and supported by VoLo Foundation, the site shows how those challenges vary by individual counties and regions. 

“This effort shares localized information on the rising costs of climate in our state,” said Dawn Shirreffs, Florida director of the Environmental Defense Fund, in a news release. “It is important that Floridians can see how climate change impacts them directly.”
