WHO WE ARE
MISSION
Our mission, as a chapter of the Climate Reality Project 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 city 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, Climate Reality Los Angeles is the largest of the more than 100 chapters of the Climate Reality Project, with over 700 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. Many Climate Reality LA members are certified Climate Leaders who have completed an official Climate Reality Project Leadership Corps training session. However, everyone is welcome and invited to get involved.
