Projections suggest that a substantial portion of <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span> could be submerged underwater by 2050. These changes also lead to more frequent hurricanes that threaten the homes and livelihoods of Floridians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With Florida being the 10th territory on the planet most affected by climate change, it was urgent that we have our week dedicated to the climate, as <span class=\"xn-location\">New York<\/span> has it.
