When FAU geographer Colin Polsky conducted the first Florida Climate Resilience Survey in 2019, he found that 68 percent of Floridians expressed concern about the well-being of future Florida generations due to climate change. Only 28 percent said Florida’s government was doing enough to address climate change. 

“In my experience in southeast Florida…, the private sector leaders are, regardless of party affiliation, not only actively concerned about challenges linked with our changing climate but also committed to meaningful actions,” Polsky said. “Now through this survey, we may be seeing similar support statewide for climate solutions grounded in innovation and entrepreneurship.”
