More than 700 community leaders, entrepreneurs, activists and business innovators became Climate Reality Leaders this week at a three-day training held by The Climate Reality Project in Johannesburg, South Africa. The organisations also announced the launch of The Climate Reality Project Africa, a new branch that will further mobilise individuals and communities across the continent in the fight against climate change.

Today, The Climate Reality Project’s I AM PRO SNOW campaign released a humorous video featuring two time Olympic gold medalist Ted Ligety talking to a snowflake about climate change. The video is designed to raise awareness about how the changing climate is hurting snow sports and to educate viewers about what the snow sports community can do to fight it.

Today, The Climate Reality Project along with partners Environmental Defense Fund, Organizing for Action and Sierra Club announced the delivery of more than 120,000 citizen comments to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in support of a strong Social Cost of Carbon (SCC).

Boulder, Colorado (January 22, 2014) – The Climate Reality Project’s I AM PRO SNOW campaign – now in its third year – is proud to partner with key stakeholders to expand the conversation around climate change to the members of the winter sports community.

"Five years ago, Maggie Fox joined The Climate Reality Project (then the Alliance for Climate Protection) to guide it through one of the defining legislative fights of the current environmental movement. Though the effort succeeded in the U.S. House of Representatives, it was blocked in the U.S. Senate -- which proved to us that more had to be done to combat the climate denial cottage-industry and to foster a true social movement for climate action."

Today, The Climate Reality Project announced that applications are open for the 24th Climate Reality Leadership Corps training program, which will take place March 12-14, 2014 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Climate Reality Project’s 24 Hours of Reality: The Cost of Carbon officially broke its viewership record for the second year in a row with more than 20 million views worldwide and supported by more than 130 events hosted in 14 countries.

On Tuesday, October 29th, The Climate Reality Project is holding more than 20 events across the country as part of a National Day of Action organized by Organizing for Action and several other climate groups.
