The Climate Reality Project Canada is proud to be a member of an international community of Climate Reality Project affiliates.
Since the establishment of Climate Reality in The United States in 2006, the training of new Climate Leaders has occurred in Australia, India, Spain, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Canada, Mexico, China, Turkey, South Africa, Brazil, and many more countries. Climate Reality also has an official presence in over 150 countries around the world.
This impressive expansion in such a short period of time has resulted in the training of thousands of additional committed individuals. These individuals will further facilitate the goal of The Climate Reality Project of fostering an engaged and well-informed international citizenry.
The Climate Reality Project Canada was founded in 2007 as The Climate Project Canada, inspired by Al Gore’s groundbreaking film “An Inconvenient Truth” and his original climate presentation. From the beginning, our mission has been to empower people across the country with the science, stories, and solutions they need to take action on the climate crisis.
Launched as the Canadian branch of what is now The Climate Reality Project, we joined a growing global movement dedicated to climate education and leadership. In our early years, we focused on training volunteer presenters to deliver community talks that made climate science accessible and urgent for audiences from classrooms to boardrooms.
Over time, our work expanded beyond presentations into community organizing and advocacy rooted in the Canadian context. We have collaborated with environmental organizations, supported non‑partisan grassroots initiatives, and helped build networks like Community Climate Hubs and campus‑based groups that push for ambitious local climate action.
Today, The Climate Reality Project Canada is a national charity and a key part of the international Climate Reality network. We continue to train and support Climate Reality Leaders across the country, centring climate justice and a just transition as we help communities, institutions, and decision‑makers move Canada toward a climate‑safe, equitable future.
