Climate Correction™ Conference Empowers Climate Leaders in Action
VoLo Foundation's flagship annual event calls on individuals and organizations to drive meaningful progress at a pivotal moment for climate action
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Climate Correction, the annual conference hosted by VoLo Foundation in Orlando, Florida, returns for its seventh edition on March 12-13, 2025. This two-day event will convene leading experts to explore innovative climate solutions, aiming to shift the world from a business-as-usual approach toward a more resilient and sustainable future.
Recognized as the premier climate-focused conference in the southeastern United States, Climate Correction 2025 embraces the theme "Leaders in Action," underscoring the crucial role individuals and organizations play in advancing climate resilience. This year's conference arrives at a critical moment, as the planet surpasses the 1.5°C global warming threshold, according to recent landmark studies. Additionally, in 2024 alone, the United States experienced 27 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters, as reported by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
"Addressing climate change isn't just the responsibility of governments. Communities, businesses, and individuals all play a crucial role," said Thais López Vogel, co-founder and trustee of VoLo Foundation. "The need for individual commitment has never been greater. Citizens are the driving force behind this movement."
A Dynamic, Solutions-Oriented Program
The conference will feature interactive workshops, expert panels, exhibits, and policy discussions—all designed to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to drive real change. The program will also integrate art, film, policy, fashion, and economics, with bilingual sessions in English and Spanish.
Climate Correction is a powerful testament to climate action, highlighting not only how climate change impacts every aspect of human life but also how solutions emerge from all of us.
