Wasserman Schultz Statement on White House Recognition of Broward County as Climate Action Champion

12/03/14
 
WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after the White House named Broward County a Climate Action Champion. The 16 local and tribal communities chosen for this distinction have, according to the White House, considered their climate vulnerabilities and taken decisive action to cut carbon pollution and build resilience:
 
“Once again, local municipalities are showing Congress what’s possible when they come together, roll up their sleeves, and work to solve problems. In South Florida we are the poster child for the impacts of climate change, and for years our Broward County leaders have worked tirelessly on short and long-term solutions that address issues such as carbon emissions and sea-level rise while enhancing our economy and protecting our cherished South Florida environment. State Representative Kristin Jacobs and the elected officials of Broward County are very deserving of this accolade, and I thank them for their leadership in the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact and for their dedication to the sustainability of our community and our planet.”
