MUSC's Public Information and Community Outreach Group convened four Community Leaders Institutes in Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Beaufort and Savannah.

Each institute included a panel of local experts who spoke to the issues and impacts of Climate Change from uniquely local perspective. Open to the public these panel discussions presented diverse opinions and perspectives on key issues such as sea level rise, health impacts, economic issues, education, overall climate change and community engagement.

The panels took questions from the audience who were actively engaged throughout the presentations. Part of the event included screening the SCETV production "Climate Change: A Global Reality" hosted by CNN's John King. The program set up many of the topics discussed at each Community Leaders Institute and help stimulate an active dialogue.
