Fort Lauderdale, Florida

 

Fort Lauderdale, known as the Venice of America, is a popular tourist destination just north of Miami. It is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale. The city bills itself as a green city, as Fort Lauderdale always has been defined by its water and its weather. Yet as much as climate benefits the City, it now presents one of its greatest challenges. Today, the City of Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding South Florida region are areas considered among most vulnerable to climate change in the world. Fort Lauderdale considers itself to be among the nation’s most progressive populations when it comes to climate resiliency. Learn more about their sustainability efforts.
