Ex ecutive Summary
Sustainability is a term that refers to the extent that a system in its current state will be able
to meet the economic, environmental, and social needs of future generations. Sustainability
plans for municipalities are guiding documents designed to help a community plan and act
more sustainably by providing structure to its long-term and short-term resource management
and policy decisions. Many municipalities throughout the country and the world have
developed sustainability plans for their communities. Other communities have developed a
specific component of a sustainability plan that is focused primarily on lowering greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions, often called climate action plans.
The purpose of the Miami Beach Sustainability Plan is to improve resources, prevent harm
to the natural environment, protect human health, and benefit the social, economic, and
environmental well-being of the community for present and future generations. In addition,
the plan also functions as the work plan for the city’s participation in the Energy Economic
Zone (EEZ) Pilot Program, which is an economic development program administered by the
Florida Department of Community Affairs.
The plan fuses guiding principles, program areas, goals, indicators, targets
and initiatives into a cohesive living document. The plan assists the City administration to
accomplish its Key Intended Outcome (KIO) of enhancing environmental sustainability and
also guides the Sustainability Committee in its mission. The plan’s development process will
include the establishment of baselines for indicators and targets in order to measure change
over time.
The adoption and implementation of a sustainability plan will provide both short-term and
long-term benefits to government operations and the community. Short-term benefits include
decreased energy costs; improved alternative transportation and mobility; increased
diverted solid waste diverted from the landfill; improved urban forest and local air quality;
and increased environmental awareness and stewardship. Long-term benefits are numerous
and include reducing the city’s carbon footprint; reducing potential risks and costs from
environmental impacts; preserving natural resources and maintaining a high quality of life
for residents and visitors; and reinforcing the City of Miami Beach as a world-class city by
preserving its resources for the future.

Background
The physical, economic, environmental and social aspects of our
communities are in a constant state of change. Recent research
points to scientific consensus on potential changes to our local
environment related to global climate change. The changes may
affect the following: sea-level, temperature and precipitation, salt
water intrusion, risk of flooding, beach erosion, storm frequency
and/or intensity, urban heat waves, and human health impacts.
Federal, state and local governments have already begun
planning for these potential changes. The City of Miami Beach
may be especially vulnerable to some of these changes given
its location, elevation, and strong economic and social ties to a
healthy environment.
The United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)
coordinates and integrates federal research on changes in the
global environment and their implications for society. The Global
Change Research Act (GCRA) of 1990 mandates that every four
years an assessment of the impacts of global change in the U.S.
be conducted by the USGCRP. Between 2004 and 2009, the
Climate Change Science Program (CCSP), which incorporated
