In 2006, Founder and Chairman of The Climate Reality Project, Al Gore, sparked an international conversation on climate change with his
Academy Award-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. By speaking directly
to audiences –– as one concerned citizen to another –– about the reality of
climate disruption and how we can solve it, Chairman Gore inspired people everywhere
to stand up and help build a healthy and sustainable future for us all. Later
that year, he launched the Climate Reality Leadership Corps.
Today, the Climate
Reality Leadership Corps continues to take great leaders and make them
exceptional through our training program, which provides top-quality
instruction in climate science, communications, and organizing. In advance of
the climate negotiations in Paris this December, this three-day training will
bring together accomplished individuals from diverse sectors to ensure wide
participation from business, government, and civil society. During the
training, participants will develop the skills, relationships, and connections
to shape the conversation within their communities in the context of a global solution
to the climate crisis. As of today, the result of this program is a network of
thousands of world-changers in 126 nations in every time zone.
From September
28-30, The Climate Reality Project will welcome hundreds more leaders to this
network as we hold our 30th Climate Reality Leadership Corps training. We’ve
chosen Miami, Florida as our second location for a US training this year, in
part because of Miami’s position as one of the most at-risk cities in the world
for climate change impacts. The training will highlight these potential impacts
on Miami and the state of Florida, as well as what cities, businesses,
universities, and other groups are already doing to promote resiliency and
support solutions. The training will also explore Florida’s massive solar
energy potential and look at the importance of raising the Latino voice on the
issue of climate change.
• Spend a day with former US Vice President Al Gore
exploring the implications of climate change for the region and the solutions
we have today;
• Learn skills and strategies for dynamic storytelling, public
speaking, and media engagement in the 21st century;
• Hear from local,
regional, and international experts on strategies for implementing solutions;
and
• Meet in small-group sessions facilitated by veteran Climate Reality
Leaders and subject experts who will help connect them to the Climate Reality
organization and our global network.
