JUDITH RODIN, this year’s Champion of Sustainability, is a cherished resident of Miami Beach and president of The Rockefeller Foundation, one of the world’s leading philanthropic organizations. She was previously president of the University of Pennsylvania and provost of Yale University. Since joining the Foundation in 2005, Dr. Rodin has recalibrated its focus to meet the challenges of the 21st century and today, the Foundation supports and shapes innovations to expand opportunity worldwide and build greater resilience by helping people, communities and institutions prepare for, withstand and emerge stronger from acute shocks and chronic stresses.

This program helps cities identify partners to effectively deal with the complex issue of resiliency, which is plaguing coastal cities around the globe.
