Climate Champion, we wanted to make sure you had a chance to read the email that our founder and chairman, former Vice President Al Gore, sent earlier.
Our planet is in a tough spot right now. From 2023 into early 2024, global temperatures averaged 1.5c warming over a 12 month span for the first time. And now that the year is almost over, it’s clear that we’ve lived through yet another year of record-breaking heat. If we don’t take ambitious climate action now, we could miss our window to turn things around.
We can’t let that happen.
The solutions we need are within reach, but we can’t achieve a true net zero future without a global grassroots movement to get us there. That’s what we will continue building with your support, Climate Champion. We have a generous donor triple matching all gifts, dollar-for-dollar, up to $200,000, through midnight on December 31. Will you DOUBLE your impact on our planet-saving work by donating $10 or more today?
Thank you for powering our movement.

Dear Climate Champion,
We are at a critical moment for our climate movement.
This year, landslides in India devastated entire villages, displacing thousands of people, and severe flash flooding wreaked havoc in Spain, killing more than 200 people. Extreme heat in Saudi Arabia killed over 1,300 people during the annual Hajj pilgrimage as heat deaths continued to rise worldwide. And in the US, Hurricane Helene’s rapid intensification and record rainfall left widespread destruction and more than 100 dead in its wake.
Sadly, that’s only an abridged list of the climate catastrophes we witnessed in 2024. It's like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation on the news every day now. And as the climate crisis continues to supercharge more and more of these disasters, the clear reality of our current situation is that we don’t have time to waste. The climate crisis is at our doorsteps, and we must act now.
That’s why I’m reaching out to you personally, Climate Champion. A generous donor is stepping up to match all gifts to The Climate Reality Project, dollar-for-dollar, up to $200,000. But we only have until the end of the year to hit our goal. Will you make a gift to Climate Reality today to have DOUBLE the impact on our work?
Your gifts will directly help us continue our work growing a global grassroots movement to meet this moment. In 2024, our Climate Reality Leaders helped advance landmark climate legislation in South Africa, made it easier for businesses in the Philippines to switch clean energy, and handed the fossil fuel industry a decisive defeat in Pennsylvania by stopping a proposed petrochemical plant. And we have even bigger plans in store for 2025, but we need your help.
My greatest source of hope comes from the courage and commitment of grassroots leaders and advocates, like you, in the US and around the world who are relentlessly pushing for progress. That’s how I know I can count on you, Climate Champion.
We’re ready to double our efforts fighting for a true net zero future. Are you ready to double your impact on our work with a matched gift today? Your matched year-end gift will help us train thousands more Climate Reality Leaders who will work tirelessly to advance our ambitious climate agenda. Together, we will win.
Thank you for standing with us.
Al Gore
Founder and Chairman
