The Northeast Florida Regional Council is calling for information related to climate change and its potential impact in Northeast Florida, as recommended by First Coast Vision. It will gather information, and then seek input into the implications of the information for Northeast Florida. It will then make recommendations related to the need for consideration of regional adaptation and mitigation policies.

Here is the tentative timeline for this work:

February and March, 2012: Information Collection
April, 2012: Information summary with public access to information, Public input
July, 2012: Close public input, NEFRC staff draft Overview of data and input
October, 2012: Committee created to make Policy Recommendations
