Air Quality & Climate Change
We utilize use fossil fuels every day for almost every modern
convenience, including electricity and transportation. The use of
fossil fuel emits GHG’s that contribute to climate change, reduce
air quality and affect the health of residents. Future impacts of
climate change, such as sea-level rise, may affect quality of life
and property within the city as well. By reducing GHG emissions
where possible, the City of Miami Beach can meaningfully
contribute to local air quality and the avoidance or reduction of
anticipated climate change impacts.
Initiatives directed at maintaining and/or improving air quality
will:
• Reduce the city’s carbon footprint and GHG emissions,
while improving local air and contributing to the
reduction of global GHG and associated climate
change impacts.
• Decrease the risk or severity of climate change impacts,
such as storm-related flooding, sea-level rise, and
frequency of extreme weather events such as hurricanes,
and extreme temperatures and/or precipitation.
Goals:
• Support initiatives to maintain and/or improve local air
quality.
• Reduce the production of GHG associated with
municipal operations and reduce the community carbon
footprint.
