Recommendation
Motion to declare and observe October 6-12 as Florida Climate Week
Background
Now in its fifth year, Florida Climate Week™—hosted by the VoLo Foundation—is a statewide initiative dedicated to Educate – Engage – Act. This inclusive, week-long series brings together Floridians through expert virtual sessions and community-based in-person events, all aimed at addressing our most pressing climate and resilience challenges—from rising seas and intensifying storms to extreme heat and beyond. Free and open to all, the week empowers every resident to be part of the solution. In joining with municipalities across the state that have issued proclamations and organized events, Delray Beach affirms its commitment to climate education, awareness, and meaningful action
