Who we are
In 2006, the former Vice President of USA, and the Chairman, The Climate Reality Project Al Gore sparked an international conversation on climate change with his Academy Award-winning documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” It was just the beginning of a climate revolution which led to the foundation of The Climate Reality Project, established in the USA.
Following in the footsteps of The Climate Reality Project, The Climate Project Foundation was established in India as an independent branch in 2008 with the help of TERI. In 2009, it was incorporated as a trust in Mumbai with eminent Indians as trustees.
Today, Climate Reality is a diverse group of enthusiasts who’ve taken upon themselves to solve the greatest challenge of our time. We have activists, cultural leaders, organizers, scientists, and storytellers, who are committed to building a sustainable future together.
Our Mission
Our mission is to catalyze a global solution to the climate crisis by making urgent action a necessity across every sector of society.
We at Climate Reality believe that making people aware and empowering them with tools to act on climate change, can help in tackling the crisis.
The Climate Reality Leadership Corps has trained over 49,000+ change makers worldwide since 2006. The result is a global network of activists leading the fight for climate solutions through our 12 branch offices – Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, and South Africa and a partnership in China.
What we do
The Climate Project Foundation (TCPF) is focused on making climate action an urgent need by creating awareness amongst people and empowering them with tools to create future leaders through its meticulously designed flagship programs like the Green Campus Program, which is spearheading educational institutes on the path of a sustainable future.
The India branch supports over 1500+ trained Climate Reality Leaders from India and South Asia region, who are taking climate actions at many levels, and approximately 1000 volunteers spread all over the country.
The organization is also developing informative and educational content to sensitize and trigger climate action. TCPF has been working closely with partners and like-minded organizations, intending to strengthen India’s Paris commitments.
