Climate Reality Project Bay Area
Former US Vice President Al Gore founded The Climate Reality Project to catalyze a global solution to the climate crisis by making urgent action a necessity across every sector of society. The organization recruits, trains, and mobilizes people of all walks of life to work for just climate solutions that speed energy transition worldwide. In 2015, climate leaders came together for the first meeting of what would become the project’s Bay Area chapter. It was the first of more than 150 chapters that now operate across the U.S, and has since grown to 2,200 members.
“Getting trained by Al Gore, having access to the latest information, and learning to communicate the facts, the reality of the climate crisis, has helped me become politically active in my own backyard.”
