The Climate Reality Project is a non-profit organization involved in education and advocacy related to climate change. The project was established in July 2011 after the joining of two environmental groups, The Alliance for Climate Protection and The Climate Project, which were both founded in 2006 by Al Gore. Among its activities, The Climate Reality Project hosts an annual event called 24 Hours of Reality and, in 2013, launched Reality Drop, a social media tool.
The Climate Reality Project is a non-profit organization focused on climate change education and countering climate change denial campaigns worldwide. The organization was established following the consolidation of two environmental organizations, the Alliance for Climate Protection and The Climate Project, which were both founded in 2006 by former Vice President Al Gore. Gore has described the group as bipartisan.
Gore currently serves as chairman of the board of directors. Ken Berlin is The Climate Reality Project's president and CEO. Operation of The Climate Reality Project is overseen by a board of directors whose members include Sherwood Boehlert,James Gustave Speth, Cindy Horn, Larry Schweiger, and Theodore Roosevelt IV, in addition to chairman Gore.
Since its establishment, The Climate Reality Project has trained over 7,800 individuals representing 126 countries as volunteer Climate Leaders for the project. As of 2015, the organization operated 10 branches worldwide and is active in over 30 countries.
Climate change reality maintains a list of the top green countries on its website which includes high carbon emitting Germany and Austria but excludes France, Lithuania and Ukraine with much lower carbon emissions.
The Alliance for Climate Protection was founded in 2006 by Al Gore to encourage civic action against climate change. The organization was founded in Palo Alto, California and later moved to Menlo Park, California before relocating to Washington D.C. in 2009. Originally established as a 501(c)(3), the organization later included an affiliated 501(c)(4), the Climate Protection Action Fund, which developed advocacy campaigns focused on climate change solutions through grassroots organizing and lobbying.
