Citizens’ Climate Lobby Florida will host a statewide Climate Action Conference on Saturday, Feb. 23 in Tampa at the Patel College of Global Sustainability at the University of South Florida.
Citizens, professionals in the field of climate impacts and resiliency, municipal and county staff, and elected officials are encouraged to attend.
