Fort Lauderdale Net Zero Plan 2025

18  BACKGROUND

While climate resilience in Fort Lauderdale has long been a Citywide priority, this Plan is focused on proactive, targeted strategies and actions to reduce GHG emissions that are at the root of climate change. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the City must be part of and demonstrate a commitment to regional, state, national, and global efforts to reduce GHG emissions.

The Net Zero Plan, the first of its scale and scope to emerge in the municipality, represents the starting point for a pathway toward net zero and sets the bar for other cities and counties to emulate. However, the true impact of the Plan will depend on the City’s leadership in effective implementation of its actions and strategies that includes:

1. Creating a partnership with key stakeholders committed to net zero. 2. Ongoing engagement with all stakeholders and community members. 3. Identifying champions to lead, drive, and monitor progress.

This is Fort Lauderdale’s TIME TO LEAD .
