ABOUT THE CLIMATE REALITY PROJECT
Founded and chaired by former US Vice President
and Nobel Laureate Al Gore, The Climate Reality
Project is dedicated to catalyzing a global
solution to the climate crisis by making urgent
action a necessity across every level of society.
Today, climate change is standing in the way of a
healthy tomorrow for all of us. But we know that
practical solutions are right in front of us. We
can create a healthy, sustainable, and prosperous
future by making a planet-wide shift from dirty
fossil fuels to clean, reliable, and affordable
renewable energy. At Climate Reality, we combine
digital media initiatives, global organizing
events, and peerto-peer outreach programs to
share this good news with citizens everywhere and
build overwhelming popular support for policies
that accelerate the global transition to a clean
energy economy.

Effects of Climate Change
Climate change is real and its happening right
now! Sea levels are rising and oceans are getting
warmer. Intense droughts threaten crops,
wildlife, freshwater supplies and the intense
heat waves taking lives all around the globe, the
situation has never been this serious! Climate
change poses a threat to every species on the
earth and everything that a man has achieved over
the centuries. But, It is not too late to avoid
or limit some of the worst effects of global
warming.

How to Reduce the Climate Crisis?
To address the crisis, we need to take some major
actions which require us to adopt an eco-friendly
and sustainable lifestyle. For e.g- we should
reduce the amount of greenhouse gases entering
our atmosphere by using less or non polluting
vehicles and opt for carpooling whenever we can.
We should also take immediate measures to stop
water pollution which can be done by simply
avoiding wasting water in showers or use buckets
to bathe instead. There should also be strict
policies that curb the act of throwing/dumping
plastic in water bodies. All in all, we should
take considerable actions to heal the current
status and prevent any adverse future
consequences. This must be done with immediate
effect and we should be prepared for what's to
follow.

Make India a Better Place to Live - Mr. Krishan
Kalra
Mr. Krishan Kalra, an engineer by training,
formerly Additional Secretary-General- FICCI and
Trustee of the Climate Reality Project India
further added, Were already witnessing
detrimental consequences due to escalating heat
levels, which is greatly affecting the mankind,
plants, animals, and ecosystems. This, coupled
with increasing population, is tremendously
catering to global warming and other threatening
issues, ultimately resulting in the death of huge
masses in India. However, were hoping that the
effective initiatives like the International
Solar Alliance, Clean Ganga Mission to name a
few, taken by the government will massively help
in plummeting these ongoing problems. Thats how
we can fight these hazardous impediments to make
India a better place to live.

Need for The Climate Reality Project in India
More than 900 teachers since then have taken part
in various training workshops on 'climate change
and sustainable development goals (with special
focus on environmental goals) for a safer planet
that has been organised in Maharashtra (covering
the districts Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur) and
Mumbai. We need non-profit organisations like
The Climate Reality Project India that enlighten
people and make them care about our one and only
home the Earth by conducting such important
environmental events. Only by spreading awareness
and educating the inhabitants can there be a
planet that has healthy air, pure water, and
other quality resources for consumption.
