Although climate philanthropy has grown in recent years, it still represents a tiny fraction of the capital needed.<\/p>\n<p>Experts said the private sector must take a more active role and foster public-private partnerships to accelerate effective solutions. Without sufficient resources, the progress made will remain fragile and difficult to sustain.<\/p>\n<p><b>Bipartisanship or Failure: The Political Dilemma of Climate Action<\/b><\/p>\n<p>George Behrakis,\u00a0President\u00a0of Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends, highlighted the importance of a bipartisan approach to the climate fight: &#8220;Climate change is too important to be a partisan issue. We need a broad coalition to drive lasting impact.&#8221; He stressed that without bipartisan support, there can be no real and lasting progress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span class=\"xn-location\">The United States<\/span> operates on a two-party system, and political power shifts frequently. For climate action to be effective and long-lasting, it must have bipartisan support. Otherwise, policies risk being reversed with each election cycle,&#8221; he warned.<\/p>\n<p>On that note, <span class=\"xn-person\">John Morales<\/span>, meteorologist and founder of ClimaData, warned about the risks of cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). &#8220;I can&#8217;t do my job without NOAA and the weather service,&#8221; he said, urging the public to support and defend these institutions. He also criticized the media&#8217;s tendency to give a platform to climate change detractors, &#8220;trying to contradict the science, which is irrefutable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>We all have the power to correct climate change<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Beyond government decisions, <i>Climate Correction 2025<\/i> called for individual and collective action. Thais <span class=\"xn-person\">Lopez Vogel<\/span>, co-founder of VoLo Foundation, emphasized that climate change is not just a government problem.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every person, every community, and every company has a key role to play in this fight.&#8221; From changes in consumption habits to environmental education, every action counts.<\/p>\n<p>On this point, the conference demonstrated that the climate fight can be expressed through film, art, and fashion. There were screenings of climate documentaries and a sustainable fashion show.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Michael P. Nash<\/span>, an award-winning filmmaker for his documentary <i>Climate Refugees<\/i>, which addresses the crisis of people displaced by natural disasters, is working on a sequel to raise awareness of the human consequences of climate change and the need for urgent action.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Bruno Olmedo Quiroga<\/span>, vice president of strategy at Good Energy, highlighted <span class=\"xn-location\">Hollywood&#8217;s<\/span> influence on public perception of climate change. He mentioned examples such as the film <i>Parasite<\/i> and the <i>Abbott Elementary<\/i> series, which integrate climate narratives that resonate with audiences and foster cultural change.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the conference, an interactive mural was unveiled at <span class=\"xn-location\">Orange County<\/span> Public Schools&#8217; Academic Center of Excellence (ACE) in Parramore. Designed by TIME\u2122 Pieces artist <span class=\"xn-person\">Allison Dayka<\/span>, this event marked a milestone in the Keep Orlando Beautiful initiative, powered by VoLo Foundation.<\/p>\n<p><b>The challenge continues<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Since its inception, <i>Climate Correction<\/i> has grown in scope and impact. &#8220;Every year, more people join the climate movement. Now that the stakes are higher than ever, we can&#8217;t slow down.
