Join with local students, advocates and musicians as we embrace climate action and a better future for our community. Inspired by our youth but including all ages, we will gather for music, art, and inspiring words from local leaders.

Pensacola is facing a climate emergency as rising seas, stronger storms and extreme heat stress our community. The Pensacola City Council and mayor were given recommendations from the city’s climate task force in November, 2018, and have made some progress. But much, much more needs to be done to adapt and mitigate for the changing climate.

The body of the world’s climate scientists reports that in order to avoid the most catastrophic impacts, we must reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases about 50% below 2010 levels by 2030. That means phasing out fossil fuels, creating better communities designed for people rather than cars, and ensuring a just transition to renewable energy.

The Pensacola Climate Rally is a joint project of 350 Pensacola, Healthy Gulf and Climate Together Pensacola. For more information: christian@healthygulf.org
