Can nature save Florida? Climate Correction 2026 says yes

The Invading Sea, March 6, 2026

The two-day Climate Correction Conference, organized by VoLo Foundation, kicks off Tuesday in Orlando

Florida sits on the front lines of the climate crisis, facing rising sea levels, saltwater intrusion into drinking water and worsening drought conditions.

At next week’s eighth-annual Climate Correction Conference, Meenakshi Chabba, an ecosystem and resilience scientist with The Everglades Foundation, will make the case that restoring the Everglades is not just an environmental project, but a climate resilience strategy with measurable economic and human impact.

“I often call Everglades restoration a resilience multiplier,” Chabba explained, “as we are continuing to document and recognizing surprising dividends that emerge from this mega engineering project, but one that works with nature.”

Chabba said Everglades restoration helps South Florida become more resilient to climate change. According to a 2025 Everglades Foundation report, the Everglades ecosystem generates more than $30 billion annually in benefits largely from the economic value of real estate, tourism and flood mitigation.

The two-day conference kicks off Tuesday in Orlando.
