As Gov. Rick Scott doubts the science behind man-made climate change and cuts millions from environmental enforcement programs, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer will join with global and national experts in climate action Wednesday, August 13, to discuss best practices and solutions to support economic growth and a sustainable energy future for the City of Orlando, the Central Florida region and the State of Florida.
As part of the event, Mayor Dyer will share how Orlando has taken a leadership role in the Southeast in making climate and energy investments that improve quality of life and create economic development opportunities for businesses and residents.
More than 200 community, business, nonprofit and public sector leaders in attendance will also learn firsthand how to join with businesses and governments across the U.S. in how to achieve positive results from employing the latest innovative technologies and strategies in climate action and sustainable energy.
This event is part of the Green Works Orlando initiative, the City of Orlando’s comprehensive vision to ensure Orlando into one of the most environmentally-friendly, economically and socially vibrant communities in the nation.
