CLIMATE REALITY PROJECT TRAINING

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. 
 APPLY TODAY TO JOIN US IN MIAMI, FLORIDA FROM SEPTEMBER 28-30, 2015! www.ClimateRealityTraining.org/florida
