Who We Are

MISSION

As a chapter of the Climate Reality Project, our mission is to catalyze a global solution to the climate crisis by making urgent action a necessity across every level of society, starting right here in our hometown of Los Angeles. We are united in our dedication to accelerating a just transition to green energy and a sustainable future.

MEMBERS

Established in 2017, Los Angeles Climate Reality Project is the largest of the more than 100 chapters of the Climate Reality Project, with over 1,500 members. We are everyday citizens, teachers, scientists, activists, artists, storytellers – an all volunteer army of people who are working to EDUCATE on the truth of climate change and ACTIVATE around how we solve it – right here where we live, work and play. Everyone is welcome to get involved! While many LA Climate Reality members are certified Climate Leaders who have completed a Climate Reality Leadership Corps training, some members are simply folks who are passionate to effect change.
