Climate Reality PH inducts new leaders into global networks for climate action

- 

“The global sustainability revolution is unstoppable, and it’s unstoppable because of advocates like you and the millions of people around the world demanding stronger, more ambitious climate action,” said former US Vice President and The Climate Reality Project (TCRP) Founder Al Gore, welcoming the participants of TCRP Leadership Corps Training in Bacolod City.

This event is part of The Reality Tour, TCRP’s global initiative to build momentum for bold climate ambition ahead of the United Nations’ climate summit in Brazil in November 2025.

Designed as a training to build foundational knowledge, skills, and network to generate collective action to support effective and urgent climate action, the event trained over 90 new Climate Reality leaders poised to drive change in their communities.

Building movements from the grassroots

The newly minted leaders are now part of a 3.5 million-strong global network of supporters and catalysts for change spanning 190 countries. Over 2,000 members of this global community belong in the Philippines, driving meaningful impact across various sectors.

Fresh from a record-breaking typhoon season and now facing the rising temperatures of summer, the Philippines is no stranger to the impacts of climate change. Training Filipinos for climate action, therefore, makes perfect sense. Who else should lead the charge against the climate crisis, but the ones most deeply affected by it?

“We gather today with a shared purpose: to empower you, passionate Filipino climate advocates, equipping you with the essential tools and strategies to drive real and lasting change in your communities,” said Aimee P. Oliveros, deputy branch manager of Climate Reality PH.
