Look what happened to the Berlin Wall in 1989. Former US Vice President Al Gore raises a dream of possibility if people come together in a just cause and that cause, he says, is building a movement to tackle man-made climate change. Social movements can bring change if people pull together, as seen from civil rights to the Berlin Wall, from Vietnam to the Arab Spring, in which committed citizens have come together against all odds and turned the tide of history.
Nobody can solve this alone, says Gore. “But when millions of people come together and use their voices to demand action, real change happens. Together, it’s time to speak out. It’s time to spread the truth about climate change so we empower and inspire others to work toward solutions.”
As he says, “We can stop the carbon pollution that’s disrupting our climate — and we can turn to clean energy to power our world. Renewable energy is affordable, reliable, and available today. And our leaders must set the policies in place to make clean energy available to everyone. Together, we are calling on the leaders of the world to act now and solve this crisis. Reality is on our side.”

Check out Climate Reality Project.
The Climate Reality Project, founded and chaired by former Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore, is dedicated to unleashing a global cultural movement demanding action on the climate crisis. Despite overwhelming international scientific consensus on climate change, the global community still lacks the resolve to implement meaningful solutions. The Climate Reality Project exists to forge an unwavering bedrock of impassioned support necessary for urgent action. With that foundation, together we will ignite the moral courage in our leaders to solve the climate crisis.
The Climate Reality Project employs cutting-edge communications and grassroots engagement tools to break the dam of inaction and raise the profile of the climate crisis to its proper state of urgency. With a global movement more than 5 million strong and a grassroots network of Climate Reality Leaders trained by Chairman Al Gore, we stand up to denial, press for solutions, and spread the truth about climate change to empower our leaders to solve the climate crisis.
