November 18 Update: Sorry, but Livestream ticket sales are now closed so we can set up for the conference.

The Climate Adaptation Center is excited to offer live, online access to our first-ever Florida Climate Forecast Conference!

Online access to the conference sessions will be provided by conference host and sponsor USFSM and ticket holders will receive an email from the CAC with information about how to access the conference online. This will be a livestream of the event, following the agenda schedule outlined below.

Focusing on Florida’s west coast, the CAC will gaze into our crystal ball to forecast what our climate could look like in 2030, 2040 and 2050.

The event will be held November 19th, 2021, at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee campus. Our first conference was a sell-out success and this conference is shaping up to be another hit!

This first annual CAC Florida Climate Forecast Conference will discuss issues of great importance for those of us on Florida’s west coast, including:

  • Hurricanes: how often and how dangerous?
  • Sea Level Rise: how much and how quickly?
  • Red Tide: will it become a new normal?
  • Seasonal Temperatures: day and night temperature trends
  • Unlikely but high impact events: are the risks of extreme events increasing?
  • Economics: financial risk and opportunity in a changing climate

Experts will discuss climate forecasts for 2030, 2040 and 2050 and how they were developed. The forecasts will be informative, understandable and useful, in a format not unlike daily weather forecasts. At the CAC, we think of these forecasts as the first operational climate forecasts for our region.

CAC’s first Florida Climate Forecast Conference is a prototype for next generation regional climate forecasts going forward. Our annually updated forecasts will provide decision-making guidance for individuals, businesses and governments.

The 2021 Florida Climate Forecast Conference is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors: the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, Cumberland Advisors, the Global Interdependence Center, Sarasota Magazine, the Gulf Coast Community Foundation, Triangle Ranch, Tommy’s Express Car Wash, Best Weather Inc. Climate First Bank, Afina International and Atlas Insurance.
