Introduction

Institutionalizing long-lasting partnerships among academia and local government colleagues is a challenging endeavor. Impossibly dense schedules, constant fire-fighting, and job turnover are among only a few. But the sense of place and people and the prospects for improving the environment and quality of life of fellow residents keep us engaged. The opportunities for learning, getting to know our neighbors, and training students and staff to observe, study, and understand how they can better prepare and adapt to the impacts and mitigate the causes of climate change drives our ambition to continue to do better. In this chapter, we highlight a progression of initiatives rooted in academic-practitioner partnerships that evolved into an amazing program of work that continues to grow and evolve. We describe the co-evolution of a number of resilience initiatives aimed at reducing flooding impacts due to sea level rise and impacts of increasing and extreme heat in South Florida’s Greater Miami and the Beaches (GM&B).
