The climate crisis is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and former US Vice President Al Gore is taking bold steps to address it through The Climate Reality Project. With the launch of the REALITY Tour, this global initiative is set to empower individuals, organizations, and policymakers to take decisive action against climate change. Through a combination of in-person advocacy training and innovative AI-driven online experiences, the tour is a powerful movement leading up to the UNFCCC’s COP 30 in Brazil.
A New Approach to Climate Advocacy
For the first time, Al Gore will deliver his renowned climate crisis presentation in 12 languages, enabled by cutting-edge AI technology from Metaphysic. This ensures that people worldwide can access crucial climate information in their native language, making climate action more inclusive and impactful.
In addition to digital engagement, the REALITY Tour features in-person advocacy training in various global locations. Starting in Paris on March 28–30, 2025, the tour will extend to Nairobi (June 2025), Rio de Janeiro (August 15–17, 2025), and Ulaanbaatar (October 2025). These sessions aim to build momentum and equip participants with the skills necessary to advocate for ambitious climate commitments.
Local Advocacy Training for Maximum Impact
Beyond the global events, Climate Reality’s regional branches will host one-day training sessions to further strengthen grassroots advocacy. On March 29, 2025, sessions will be held in Belém (Brazil), Vancouver (Canada), Bacolod (Philippines), and Cape Town (South Africa). Following that, on April 5, 2025, additional training events will take place in Delhi (India), Jakarta (Indonesia), Mexico City (Mexico), Nadi (Fiji), and Tokyo (Japan). These local engagements will bring Al Gore’s climate message to communities directly affected by climate change.
AI-Powered Online Climate Learning
The tour will also feature an online global experience, allowing individuals worldwide to watch Al Gore’s climate presentation in their chosen language. This digital platform will be accessible until COP 30 in November 2025, ensuring continued engagement. Participants will have access to recorded highlights from the Paris training and localized content that addresses climate challenges specific to their regions.
The Urgency of Climate Action
Scientific research indicates that in order to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement, global greenhouse gas emissions must be halved by 2030. However, emissions continue to rise, making the upcoming COP 30 a critical milestone. The REALITY Tour is designed to rally public and private sectors to take bold action and influence policy decisions that will shape the future of climate action.
Al Gore, the founder and chairman of The Climate Reality Project, emphasized the urgency of the initiative:
“The reality of this crisis is all around us as climate impacts continue to get worse faster than we are taking climate action. Now is the time to reinvigorate global leadership on the climate crisis.”
Phyllis Cuttino, President and CEO of The Climate Reality Project, echoed this sentiment, encouraging people worldwide to participate in the REALITY Tour:
“We urge people to join the REALITY Tour, either in person or online, to help us build a better tomorrow. At this crucial moment in history, we are dialing up the unrelenting pressure from citizens worldwide that leaves national leaders no choice but to act.”

Participants in these in-person and online training sessions will become members of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps, a growing network of over 3.8 million individuals worldwide committed to taking climate action. This diverse group includes business leaders, entrepreneurs, students, and concerned citizens who are making an impact in their industries and communities.
