The Climate Reality Project was started in 2006 by former Vice President Al Gore, who wanted to teach other leaders how to deliver his presentation and mobilize the public to address the climate crisis. Since then over 50,000 people from 193 countries have attended 3-day trainings.
Ethos Project founder Steve Richard attended his first training in Miami in 2015. A memorable part of the training was to learn to share your personal story about what triggered you to take action. The Ethos Project aims to take that a step further and understand what drives leaders at the deepest level.
This collection of stories are about some of the most passionate Climate Reality Leaders that Steve has met.
