A brief description of the institution’s sustainability partnerships with the local community:
The Tampa Bay Clean Cities Coalition is a membership based organization created to coordinate and promote the use of non-traditional and cleaner energy for transportation in the Tampa Bay Region. The Coalition works in concert with, and supports, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Vehicle Technology Program - Clean Cities. The Coalition’s geographical reach currently includes the counties of Hillsborough, Manatee, Paso, Pinellas, Polk and Sarasota. The Coalition’s actions assist in promoting national advances in the energy, economic and environmental security.
Resilient Tampa Bay 2011: A Knowledge Exchange with Dutch Experts was hosted by the University of South Florida's Patel Center for Global Solutions in Tampa, Florida, on February 21-23, 2011. The three-day workshop was organized in collaboration with local, regional, state, and international entities. More than 150 attendees heard from Dutch and local water experts on resiliency issues relating to Tampa Bay, particularly on urban flooding, storm surge, and sea level rise. Additionally, key stakeholders formed four geo-focal teams to identify vulnerabilities and to make recommendations on resiliency strategies for four defined locations: Tampa Bay, City of Tampa, City of St. Petersburg, and Gulf Beach Communities.
