Twenty years ago, after the release of “An Inconvenient Truth,” I invited 50 people to gather on my family farm outside Nashville, Tennessee. We came together, empowered by science and concerned about the dangers posed by the climate crisis. We believed then, as I do now, that informed and determined citizens can help drive the transformative solutions our planet urgently needs.
That gathering was the catalyst for The Climate Reality Project.
Over the past two decades, I have watched with deep gratitude as thousands of Climate Reality Leaders stepped forward to become champions for science-based solutions, inspiring others and driving climate action around the world.
Now, 20 years later, we’re returning to Nashville, Tennessee.
On May 1–2, I invite you to join me and Climate Reality as we celebrate this milestone and recommit ourselves to the necessary work ahead. And as part of this anniversary year, we’ll also gather and train leaders in Chile and Singapore to continue building momentum worldwide.
The climate crisis demands courage and commitment. Join us in Nashville and help shape the next chapter of climate leadership.

Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.

The world’s largest hunger crisis shows no sign of abating.
In areas of #Sudan facing famine or at risk, WFP assistance supports nearly 1.8 million people each month. But without urgent funding, stocks will run out and leave millions without vital support. ow.ly/k1pB50XX8JQ

Forests cover 1/3 of the Earth's land, provide clean air and water, store carbon, and are home to much biodiversity.
Yet, 10 million hectares are cleared annually by humans—equivalent to the size of Portugal.
