Miami: A living laboratory for climate solutions

Since Miami has been identified with the problem that is the climate crisis, a problem shared by coastal cities around the world, why not own it? That’s what Michael Berkowitz with the University of Miami’s Climate Resilience Academy wants to accomplish: make this region the climate solutions hub. "If the U.S. is going to think about climate resilience, what better place for that to start than right here in Miami,” he said in our latest Interview. “A lot of what we are pioneering here today is going to get used in cities and communities around the world." Berkowitz, the Executive Director of the academy, explains how he is a connector within the university and the community here, as well as the focus areas for the academy such as climate migration here.
