The Climate Reality Project

World leaders have a choice: protect people or protect #fossils-fuels. You can’t have both. Join us in demanding leaders create a clear path to phase out fossil fuels and hold the 1.5°C goal. Stand with us to push for action. #DearWorldLeaders https://bit.ly/4ebHb6N

Here are four key takeaways from the first week of #COP29, so you can stay informed on what is currently going on and what is at stake for this climate conference and future ones to come. #OnTheGroundAtCOP29 https://bit.ly/3AFVfar

As our founder and chairman Al Gore said tonight: "While the agreement reached at COP 29 avoids immediate failure, it is far from a success. On the key issues like climate finance and the transition away from fossil fuels, this is — yet again — the bare minimum. We cannot continue to rely on last-minute half measures. Leaders today shirk their responsibility by focusing on long-term, aspirational goals that extend far beyond their own terms in office. To meet the challenge of our time, we need real action at the scale of months and years, not decades and quarter-centuries. This experience in Baku illuminates deeper flaws in the COP process, including the outsized influence of fossil fuel interests that has hobbled this process since its inception. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been particularly obstructive. Putting the future of humanity at severe risk in order to make more money is truly disgraceful behavior. Reforming this process so that the polluters are not in effective control must be a priority. On climate finance, our primary task in the coming years must be to not only fulfill and build upon the financial commitments agreed to at COP 29, but to unleash even larger flows of affordable and fair private capital for developing countries. Ultimately, coming out of COP 29, we must transform disappointment into determination. We can solve the climate crisis. Whether we do so in time to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement will depend on what comes next."

At #COP29, Our founder and chairman Al Gore gave a resoundingly passionate speech calling for the world to stand up and stand together against the fossil fuel industry. https://bit.ly/3CFpaA5

This is a big deal. Canada, Mexico, the EU, and others announce incoming climate action plans that will feature economy-wide targets and include real emissions cuts to reach net zero by mid-century. #ClimateAmbition. https://bit.ly/40WzNsa

As far back as 1954, companies like Shell and BP understood the devastating effects of fossil fuels, even creating an environmental foundation. It’s time for real accountability! #EndFossilsFuels now. https://bit.ly/48M0IsN

Another day at #COP 29, another country ending coal. Indonesia commits to shuttering all coal power plants within 15 years. https://bit.ly/4ftUCQh

Record heat. Increasingly devastating storms. And emissions still hit a new high in 2023. It's time for leaders at #COP29 to stop promising and start delivering. #ActOnClimate https://bit.ly/4ephz5S
