What Miami Climate 365 does

Miami Climate 365 is a private, non-profit community initiative founded in 2024 that coordinates climate action and resilience programming across Miami-Dade County, Florida. Headquartered in Miami with a team of 1-10 staff led by Executive Director David A. Duckenfield, the organization serves as a central coordinating hub connecting local residents, community-based organizations, Miami-based NGOs, and Miami-Dade County government around environmental resiliency. Its core programs include Miami Climate Week (an annual 9-day series featuring 55+ community events categorized into Community Action, Land Action, and Water Action), the Resilience 365 Conference (a flagship climate conference scheduled for March 16-17, 2027 co-developed with the University of Miami Climate Resilience Institute), and community engagement platforms (Get Involved portal, Host an Event submission system, and a comprehensive Climate Events Calendar). The initiative does not offer a technology product; its value lies in coordinating fragmented climate action stakeholders under a unified umbrella, with academic and institutional backing from Michael Berkowitz (Executive Director, UM Climate Resilience Institute) and Jen Posner (Director of Programs).

The business model is funded through cross-sector partnerships and sponsorships with local organizations, government entities, and corporate supporters, including official support from Miami-Dade County. Most events are free to attend, with limited monetization via premium networking events such as the Women in Climate Happy Hour with a $10 minimum donation and potential conference registration fees for the Resilience 365 Conference. The organization maintains a roster of 30+ strategic partners spanning environmental NGOs (Miami Waterkeeper, Catalyst Miami, CLEO Institute), cultural institutions (Vizcaya Museum, Frost Science, Oolite Arts), academic institutions (University of Miami Climate Resilience Institute), and municipal entities (City of Miami Beach, Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department).

Customer segments fall into three groups: Miami-Dade County residents seeking climate action participation (primary), community-based organizations and NGOs seeking collaborative platforms (primary), and Miami-Dade County government seeking community engagement for resilience initiatives (secondary). Distribution operates through hybrid channels including partner organization events, community networks, government partnerships, and direct website registration via miamiclimate365.com. Marketing leverages organic social (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), email newsletters, and partner event cross-promotion as top-of-funnel and mid-funnel engagement mechanisms.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• ICLEI USA: U.S. arm of the global ICLEI network supporting local governments on sustainability. Listed as a supporting partner of MC365 and shares the same climate-action-at-the-local-government level focus; enabling relationship rather than competitive.

Broad incumbents

• C40 Cities: Global network of 100+ mayors and city governments addressing climate change. Operates at a much larger institutional scale than MC365, but addresses overlapping themes of city-level climate action and resilience.
• The Climate Group: International nonprofit that convenes subnational governments and businesses on climate action and hosts Climate Week NYC. Operates globally with broader portfolio of programs beyond city-level event weeks.
• Climate Reality Project: Global climate advocacy organization founded by Al Gore focused on education, training, and grassroots mobilization. Operates a broader portfolio of programs (leadership training, 24 Hours of Reality) that overlap with MC365's community awareness mission.
• CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project): Global nonprofit running the largest environmental disclosure system for cities, companies, and investors. Operates at a much larger scale and addresses overlapping themes of city-level climate transparency and action (e.g., co-runs London Climate Action Week).

Direct peers

• LA Climate Week: Annual Los Angeles-based climate week aggregating community events around climate action. Comparable in scope (citywide, NGO-partner driven, free community programming) and a direct U.S. regional parallel to Miami Climate Week.
• San Francisco Climate Week: Annual climate week convening Bay Area climate actors around action and policy. Direct U.S. peer: city-scoped, partner-driven, community-events-led model mirroring MC365's structure.
• Climate Week NYC: The largest and most established city-level climate week globally, organized annually by The Climate Group in New York City. Direct analog to Miami Climate Week in format (week-long, multi-stakeholder, events-driven), though significantly larger in scale.
• Boston Climate Week: Annual climate week in Greater Boston organized around community climate action and engagement. Comparable format — week-long series of partner-hosted events plus flagship programming — targeting a different U.S. city but with a similar constituency model.
• London Climate Action Week: Annual city-level climate action week in London convening governments, businesses, and civil society. Closely comparable in structure (city-scoped, partnership-driven, free public events plus flagship conference).
