The Climate Reality Project was founded by former US Vice President Al Gore with a mission to catalyze a global solution to the climate crisis by making urgent action a necessity across every sector of society. We recruit, train, and mobilize people of all walks of life to work for just climate solutions that speed energy transition worldwide and open the door to a better tomorrow for us all.
Our global network totals more than 3.8 million people from more than 190 countries and territories. With 11 branches around the world, we support our trained Climate Reality Leaders and network. Our strategy is two-pronged: 1) grow the climate movement and build the political will necessary to adopt policy solutions through our signature trainings around the globe, and 2) harness our ever-expanding network in support of three key areas of focus; reducing emissions, financing a just transition and strengthening international cooperation around climate.
Climate Reality staff are a diverse group of passionate individuals who’ve come together to tackle the greatest challenge of our time. We are advocates, organizers, storytellers, and non-profit professionals committed to building a sustainable future together.
