In the fight against climate change, we’ll need to electrify everything we can: cars, stoves, trucks, heat pumps, and buildings. In the process, we’ll lower emissions and energy bills, make homes healthier, and build more resilient communities. But how do we electrify America so that every community reaps the far-reaching benefits?
Fifty nine percent of Americans are “alarmed” or “concerned” about climate change, and we already have the technology to drastically reduce our emissions. So… why don’t we? In this interactive panel, explore how to build political will by depolarizing climate change, turning everyday citizens into climate lobbyists in Congress, and transforming the electorate to alter our...
Sign-up here: as.pn/aic2024 Participants will take a boat to Stiltsville, a one-of-a-kind maritime community of fishermen, partiers, and squatters who lived in upwards of 27 structures in the flats of Biscayne Bay. Let expert historians from Miami Dade College take you through the rich, nonpareil history of Stiltsville from the vantage point of its most ornate stilt hom...
Sign-up here: as.pn/aic2024. Join this trip to the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science for an exclusive guided tour of the Alfred C. Gassell, Jr. SUSTAIN Laboratory wind-wave tank which can generate up to Category 5 hurricane force winds! SUSTAIN, which stands for SUrge-STructure-Atmosphere-INteraction, provides scientist...
Part 1: The City of Miami Beach and Oolite Arts present three commissioned short films on climate solutions: The Mango Movie, Ripples, and Before the Flood. The screening will be followed by a short discussion among the filmmakers. Part 2: Screening of The Important Stuff, in which children share concerns, ideas, and solutions related to climate negotiations, followed by...
With playgrounds that reach 150 degrees and “heat days” that force schools to close, it’s no surprise that 75% of teens have moderate to extreme climate anxiety. Young people have the right to thrive on a healthy planet, and adults have a responsibility to preserve this right. Explore how school systems are essential to advancing generational justice and enabling future ge...
What’s new in climate tech? Hear from the innovators themselves about deploying artificial intelligence to supercharge solutions and cracking the code on storing clean energy when the sun isn’t shining.
Sign-up here: as.pn/aic2024 Start your morning with an immersive journey connecting with the natural world and the self at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens. Together we will awaken our senses, practice presence, and tune into our somatic experience through a slow and meditative visit with nature. Our salutation to the new day will be a mixture of guided exercises, de...
What would it take to make our lives Net Zero by 2030? How do we engage with our families, communities and companies on this path? Experience a 6-year journey in one hour, from rating your climate health today to becoming a Net Zero hero by 2030.
Following words from a local poet, a museum creator speaks of storytelling as a tool, and a Columbia professor talks about the geopolitical implications of the energy transition. The Aspen Institute’s Arts Program makes an announcement, an ocean-solutionist shares a new vision for conservation, and we close this year’s event with the Mayor of Miami and the former Mayor of...
Despair, frustration, anxiety—but also hope and deep gratitude—are endemic among people who confront big environmental problems for a living. In this interactive workshop, share what’s on your mind with mental health experts, and learn tools to cope and thrive.
Low-to-no-emissions advanced air mobility could transform not only air transportation but transportation as a whole, and decision makers must grapple with whether (and how) we open the skies to electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Aviation leaders and elected officials will need to work together to adapt existing aircraft infrastructure and develop polic...
Fossil fuels and renewables dominate mitigation conversations, but other emission reduction opportunities are hiding in plain sight. Decarbonization roadmaps for the built environment are increasingly clear, and solutions for hard-to-abate emissions—biomass, refrigerants, landfills, regenerative agriculture, hydrogen—are coming into view, and all will play a significant r...
The climate crisis is a health crisis. But even as climate change contributes to the global burden of disease, killing roughly 4 million people globally since the turn of the century, the health care sector is responsible for 8.5% of US greenhouse gas emissions. With healing as their mission, health professionals and organizations can use their ethical, economic, and poli...

In 2023, Miami experienced its worst heat wave on record, with temperatures breaking 100 degrees for 46 consecutive days. Humans need safe spaces during life-threatening temperatures, and this session will explore challenges and solutions for cooling homes, buildings, and public spaces, using Miami-Dade as an example of a much wider problem.
The industrial sector—think steel, cement, chemicals, heat and cooling—accounts for approximately 30% of emissions in the United States, making industry our biggest emissions problem. Learn about how emerging scalable solutions in technology, finance, and policy promise to decarbonize the sector.
The IRA’s $369 billion for climate measures has impacts beyond its domestic agenda, but its delivery globally has been met with criticism of protectionism. What can the IRA really do for global decarbonization, and how can the US better support efforts in Africa, India, and the Global South?
