This free training program is part of Mr. Gore’s the REALITY® ️Tour—a global initiative aimed at building momentum for bold climate action to phase out fossil fuels and combat rising temperatures.
The training is designed to empower youth leaders, professionals, government officials, and representatives of vulnerable communities as changemakers in solving the climate crisis.
“As we witness delays in climate progress in key regions like the United States, it is essential for the Global South to lead with courage and conviction. The Philippines has a vital role to play, given its vulnerability to climate impacts and its storied history in climate diplomacy,” said Nazrin Camille Castro, Branch Manager of Climate Reality Philippines.
The Philippines, along with the Global South, was pivotal in championing the 1.5°C threshold at the 2015 Paris Agreement, a target critical to safeguarding the planet’s most vulnerable populations.
Participants will engage in sessions on energy transitions and grassroots action facilitated by international and local climate experts. The program also provides opportunities to connect with like-minded advocates and build a robust network for impactful climate initiatives.
Graduates of the one-day training will join the Climate Reality Leadership Corps, a global community of over 47,000 advocates from than 191 countries working toward a low-carbon, climate-resilient, and sustainable future. In the Philippines, nearly 2,000 Climate Reality Leaders are already driving change across various sectors.
“While we have a strong network of Climate Reality Leaders in the Philippines, the worsening climate crisis calls for further expansion and growth. We hope this training inspires deeper commitments to solve the climate crisis—one Filipino at a time,” added Castro.
