Rafe Pomerance - Upper Limit Project
TOPIC – FLORIDA SHOULD ADOPT AN UPPER LIMIT TO SEA LEVEL RISE
Rafe Pomerance has spent much of his career raising awareness of global warming and building support for climate solutions. His work plays a central role in Nathaniel Rich’s New York Times magazine article and subsequent book, Losing Earth. It tells the story of a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists who were among the first to try to convince the world to act on climate change – and the fossil fuel industry’s fight to stop them. Rafe was the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Environment and Development from 1993-9 and very involved in global climate negotiations.
He brings a wealth of experience in government and non-profit organizations to his climate policy work with Woodwell Climate Research Center, World Resource Institute and Friends of the Earth. He is former Chairman of Arctic 21, a network of organizations focused on communicating the unraveling of the Arctic as a result of climate change to policy makers and the public. He is also a consultant to the nonprofit ReThink Energy Florida raising awareness on the impact of sea level rise in the state. His work on climate change impacts in Florida has spread over three decades.Sea level rise threatens Florida's viability economically and ecologically. Without intervention global sea level rise will continue to accelerate and multiply pressures on Florida's population. Florida must become a leader nationally and internationally as global action is required to limit sea level rise.
