Our vision is to bring together the right people, tools and capital to help Miami overcome the myriad of challenges facing our wonderful city: climate change, social injustice, biodiversity collapse, AI-risk and more\u2026\n\nWe see ourselves as a pioneer of the global regenerative movement and as a model for coastal cities around the world. Many years of preparation has been getting us ready for this moment.\n\n    The moment is now!\n\nWe are kicking off ReFi Miami at an Earth Day Climate Collabothon on April 22 via #SaveMiami organized by Logos Blue Foundation, Sustainacities and partners.\n\n        The Challenges\n\nAs recently as last week flooding in Miami Dade County has brought to all of our attention: Climate and environmental change and its complex web of crisis is real.

We are gathering the brightest minds and the most value-aligned capital into the work of regeneration.\n\nBelow is just a list of the amazing innititaitves between public, private and third-sector institutions emerging in Miami. \n\n\n- Miami has adopted a 1 million tree commitment\n- Miami-Dade County adopted the Climate Change Action Plan (reduce emissions by 80% by 2050).\n- Miami-Dade County founded a Resilience Office to focus on climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness.\n- Miami has become a hub for web3, with several major companies setting up shop in the area along with the world\u2019s largest Bitcoin conference\n- Miami-based Knight Foundation has committed $10 million to climate solutions in the region.\n- Harvard Business School Professors created a case study on Miami as an ideal hub for climate solutions that could be exported to the rest of the world.\n- Florida International University (FIU) has a Sea Level Solutions Center that focuses on sea-level rise and resiliency.\n- University of Miami (UM)\u2019s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science researces climate change and oceanography.\n- NOAA has a presence with the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory located on Virginia Key.\n\nOverall, there is a strong interest and growing momentum in the Miami area towards regenerative practices, sustainable and regenerative finance, and the development of web3/crypto ecosystem.\n\n                ReFiMiami founding members:\n\n**Logos Foundation:**\nSustainacities Net Zero Tool kit across Blue and Green economy pillars will help Miami achieve its targets, understand its role in the global value chain and model sustainability for other cities aorund the world. \n![](https://i.imgur.com/qodPTpk.png)\n\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/DwMwk43.jpg)\n\nLogos Foudnation has organized an OpenCLimate Collabothon innaugurated during 2023 Earth Day\n\n**Silvi Protocol**\nwww.twitter.com/silviprotocol \nSilvi is a reforestation protocol headquartered in Miami.
