Introduction
As debate about the extent and underlying causes of climatic change continues, there is general agreement that changes are occurring. While some decision makers are incorporating the potential impacts of climatic change into their plans and decisions, there is little public evidence that this is taking place in Florida.
The Florida Center for Environmental Studies (CES) at Florida Atlantic University plans to host a workshop to examine this topic. The workshop will produce
- An agenda for further analysis and discussion
- Identification of priority areas for which current planning should include consideration of climatic change impacts over the near- (current-10 years), medium- (10-20 years) and long-term (20-50 years)
- Findings which will be used to develop a larger conference on this topic in early 2007.
The workshop will be a two-day event for 30-40 people with the first day opening in a plenary session followed by three break out groups. Day two will convene all participants for an opening presentation and conclude with reports from break out group leaders.
