Florida Futures

Project Essay

Competition

$1,000

Must submit an essay of 1,250 words or less on one of the

following three topics:

Prompt One:

According to the Florida Chamber of Commerce: “At the

highest estimate, Florida’s population is projected to increase

by 6 million people for a total population of nearly 26 million

by 2030.” As a result, Florida’s high-population counties are

also expected to become even more densely populated in the

future. How can we sustainably and equitably prepare for an

increasing population in a climate-vulnerable state?

Prompt Two:

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,

the release of CO2 and other greenhouse gases has led to a 1

January 15th

2019-2020 Scholarship Opportunities

degree Celsius rise in global temperatures, and will likely reach

1.5 degrees Celsius within the next few decades if it continues

to increase at the current rate. In order to mitigate some of the

worst impacts of climate change, it’s imperative that we set an

example for other states by developing a zero-carbon roadmap

for Florida. What strategies would you employ to drastically

reduce and eventually eliminate our state’s carbon footprint?

Prompt Three:

Please outline two impacts of climate change: one you believe

most people are already aware of and discussing, such as sea-

level rise, and one impact that you believe isn’t being given the

appropriate amount of attention and resources. Please describe

your solution for each.
