The University of Miami will be marking Earth Day with the launch of its Climate Resilience Academy.

“If you imagine the way the buildings were designed, they imagined the sea to be at a certain level, and so, therefore, the complete design of those buildings were based on those assumptions,” University of Miami Provost Jeffrey Duerk said.

Florida is ground zero for climate change impacts, such as sea level rise.
