A functional unit that supports University of Miami Schools and Colleges in interdisciplinary, problem-driven research and education, training of the next generation, and delivery of solutions to climate change impacts and related stressors, in partnership with, industry, government, universities, and other stakeholders.
There are over 60 projects, many of them interdisciplinary across multiple schools and colleges, that address climate or related resilience issues. These projects align with three overlapping thematic platforms: infrastructure and environment; human and societal health; and economic development.
An innovative new problem-based undergraduate course on Resilience, involving many experts in the field, will begin in Fall 2022. The goal is to equip students with adaptive cognitive tools and critical thinking skills to navigate in a volatile world with conviction and creativity.
The University of Miami holds regular symposia in climate resilience. These include the Miami Climate Symposium, Subtropical and Tropical Coastal Resilience, the Climate and Health Symposium, and the
first Climate Resilience Academy Symposium.
