  1. The Creation of a Climate Change Adaptation Plan for SE Florida David B. Enfield

  2. Timeline 2007-2009: Miami-Dade County Climate Change Adaptation Task Force — technical reports presented to county in early 2008 2010: Formation of SE Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (4 counties) 2010-2011: Committee work in key areas 2011: Draft Action Plan completed Dec. 2011: Draft Action Plan formally presented at SE Florida Rregional Climate Leadership Summit (Key Largo)

  3. Miami-Dade Climate Change Advisory Task Force (CCATF) Statement on Sea Level Rise in the Coming Century IPCC 2001: SLR (2100) 1-3 ft IPCC 2007: SLR (2100) 0.6-1.9 ft (ignored ice melt) CCATF primary mission: Produce a more realistic projection for M-D county planning CCATF  2-5 ft By AD2100

  4. Ice Melt in Greenland Disappearing Arctic Ice

  5. CCATF  Assessment of Current Best Knowledge Regarding Future Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Activity

  6. Initiatives at State (Crist) and Federal (Obama) levels

  7. Compact Work Undertaken Organized by Working Groups • Policy & Advocacy: Four (4) most populous Florida counties advocate & Coordinate unified action at State & Federal levels • Baseline of GHG emissions for SE Florida • Unified Sea Level Rise Projection • Inundation mapping and vulnerability assessment • Regional Action Plan planning process

  17. South Beach Area Showing present & Future Conditions. DRAFT DRAFT Present (SLR = 0 ft) 2080-2150 (SLR = 3 ft) IHRC LIDAR NGVD 88 Elevations approx. = MHW Vertical exaggeration 20x

  18. Sea Level Rise Impact on groundwater Salinification of Biscayne Aquifer from both ends: Atlantic side and Everglades

  19. Sea Level Rise Impact on Coastal Control Structures Estimated 70% reduction of storm drainage capacity with only 9 inches of sea level rise (AD 2040-2060) Flood/salinity control stucture

  20. Please Remember – these maps do not show the effects of hurricanes acting in conjunction with elevated sea levels.
