Facing the Future: South Florida vs. Climate Change (2026)

South Florida—a sprawling, low-lying urban hub—ranks among the most climate-vulnerable places on the planet, facing the relentless threat of rising seas. This WLRN original documentary takes you straight to the front lines, capturing how local communities are fighting back. Shot during the intense 2024 hurricane season, the film showcases bold infrastructure upgrades, grassroots initiatives, environmental education, and citizen science projects across the region. Over the course of a year, we follow climate leaders and advocates as they navigate the urgent crisis and demonstrate remarkable resilience. The story builds to a pivotal regional summit in Key West, where participants take stock of what’s been accomplished—and map out the road still ahead.
