Resilience Committee

The Resilience Committee looks to engage and impact key governmental and private sector stakeholders to advance solutions and actions protecting our natural resources and supporting the Resilient 305 Strategy – 100 Resilient Cities initiative and our South Florida ClimateReady Tech Hub. The Committee acts on multiple fronts and partners with other Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce committees to create a more resilient Miami-Dade community.  The Resilience Committee's objectives include enhancing collaboration between business leaders, government, the nonprofit sector and academia to enable our community to bounce back quicker from the inevitable stressors it faces; supporting investment in resilient gray, green and blue built infrastructure (both existing and future); undertaking viable ways to promote business opportunities that mitigate climate change's impact on the region's future; promoting efforts to improve water quality, prevent saltwater intrusion, and protect our fresh water supply (Biscayne Aquifer); and supporting the restoration of the Everglades, Biscayne Bay Ecosystem, and Coral Reefs.

Participation in the Resilience Committee is open to all Greater Miami Chamber members in good standing who have interests or concerns in this arena. Committee members include a broad range of professionals including real estate professionals, urban-based businesses, schools, incubators, City and County officials, along with non-governmental organizations.
