FL: Addressing the Challenge of Climate Change in the Greater Everglades Landscape
“Addressing the Challenge of Climate Change in the Greater Everglades
Landscape” is a research initiative funded by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
and carried out by a group of researchers at the Department of Urban
Studies and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT).
The study investigates possible trajectories of future transformation
in the Greater Everglades Landscape relative to four main drivers:
climate change, shifts in planning approaches and regulations,
population change, and variations in financial resources. Through
a systematic exploration at the landscape-scale, this research identifies
some of the major challenges to future conservation efforts
and illustrates a planning method which can generate conservation
strategies resilient to a variety of climatic and socioeconomic
conditions.
