Mission: Enhance the viability of West Palm Beach as a model of a healthy, equitable, environmentally progressive, resilient, and ecologically sustainable community.

 

The City of West Palm Beach has been committed to sustainability targeting climate change for over a decade. We were one of the first cities in the State of Florida to have a dedicated office addressing climate change, sustainability and resiliency issues. The Office of Sustainability collaborates with various city agencies, nonprofit organizations, businesses and private citizens, among other partners, to enhance the viability of the municipality as a model of healthy, equitable, environmentally progressive, resilient and ecologically sustainable, urban living.  We are committed to continue to evolve to meet our City’s / region’s environmental challenges focused on exceeding our community’s expectations.

City Nature Challenge

  • Date: -  

The City Nature Challenge is an international effort for people to find and document plants and wildlife in cities across the globe. It's a bioblitz-style competition rooted in citizen science where cities compete against each other to see who can make the most observations of nature, find the most species, and can engage the most people. We are competing globally as South Florida, which encompasses Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties. Explore and document our unique environments, both terrestrial and marine, where diverse flora and fauna can be found just outside your door.
