LITTLE HAVANA CLIMATE TOWN HALL & COMMUNITY CONNECTION FAIR

Artist Xavier Cortada invited all Little Havana residents to join him and his University of Miami research team for a Climate Town Hall focused on preparing the community for a future with rising seas. The event included a panel discussion and Q&A with Katharine Mach, climate change scientist at UM’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, and Jessica Owley, environmental lawyer at UM’s School of Law.

Following the town hall, residents of Little Havana were invited to join Cortada and various non-profit organizations for a Community Connection Fair aimed at linking students, families, and neighbors with ongoing initiatives in Miami. At the fair, locals had the ability to learn about and get involved in efforts ranging from climate advocacy and adaptation to sustainable seafood and native tree planting.
