Eco Events in South Florida: October 2026
Florida Climate Week is October 5 - 11, which means a variety of climate and environmental events happening all over Florida.
Florida is a pretty big state, but thankfully there are plenty of events in the South Florida tri-county area.
NY Climate Week just happened at the end of September, a great way to draw attention to climate issues and bring people together.
Florida has a lot to lose to climate change.
We’re one of the most vulnerable states, and we all know we’ve been experiencing the impact for many years already.
Climate conversations must break into the mainstream so we can create meaningful and swift change at the social, political, and cultural levels.
I cannot stress this enough: we have all the climate solutions we need; we’re just not implementing them. (Thank you, Dr. @ayanaelizabeth)
Make an effort to attend one event.
If you can’t, try bringing up climate change in conversation with family and friends.
And definitely make sure to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.
We have the power to change course this November by voting.
Make sure you’re registered to vote in Florida by October 5- double-check your registration here: vote.org
My Florida Midterm voting guide will be available October 5, 2026.
