Alachua County Climate Summit
Event description
Join us! Agenda Below!
Alachua County is creating a Climate Action Plan and we'd love your input!
Environmental experts, community leaders, and residents are coming together to discuss the first draft of our community's Climate Action Plan. The event will include community partners as exhibitors, presentations about climate impacts, and break out sessions for folks to share their thoughts and concerns.
A BIG thank you to the local organizations, farms, businesses, and community members who are making today's Climate Summit possible.

Ward's Supermarket worked with Custom Caterers to gather kale, green leaf lettuce, sweet potatoes, satsuma oranges, and Straughn Honey.
