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

Global Soundscapes: Mission to Record the Earth
Listen...can you hear that? It’s the sound of the Earth! Global Soundscapes takes you on a sound safari to explore the health of our planet...with your ears. Travel the globe with scientists to investigate the spectacular soundscapes of Costa Rica’s rainforests, Hawaii’s coral reefs, and Mongolia’s vast grasslands. Learn how animals use sounds to survive and communicate in lush, but threatened environments. Experience basic acoustics through interactive activities and incredible slow-motion footage of pulsating musical instruments, vibrating vocal cords, and slobbering “raspberries.” With Global Soundscapes’ unique format—combining full-dome imagery, surround sound, and live presentation—you’ll hear the Earth in a whole new way.
