Could #COP31 be the weirdest climate summit in years?
World leaders are dodging climate conversations. Fossil fuel interests are fighting to protect their profits. And the planet keeps getting hotter. But what if this strange moment is exactly the opportunity we need to change the conversation about clean energy solutions? Read about our priorities for COP 31 to understand whatโs at stake โ and whatโs possible โ at this yearโs UN climate conference. ๐

A big win for a true champion of climate science!
From advising the White House to helping shape major climate assessments for the UN and World Bank, Climate Reality board member Rosina Bierbaum has spent decades making sure science helps shape the decisions that affect our planet and our future.
Now, she's being recognized with Sigma Xi's 2026 Gold Key Award, the scientific research society's highest honor!
We're proud to have her leadership on our board. Join us in congratulating Rosina on this well-deserved recognition!
We already know what direction the world is moving in: Renewable energy is leading global electricity generation.
#COP31 has to be about turning that momentum into real policy: ending the worst fossil fuel subsidies, building national transition roadmaps, strengthening the COP process, and keeping sound science at the heart of climate decisions.

Young people are literally taking their government to court over climate inaction โ and weโre cheering them on!!
When leaders fall short, people have every right to call it out, and these 15 young Canadians are doing exactly that. After seven years, their climate lawsuit is finally getting its day in court.
Huge congratulations on the fight for their rights, our future, and climate action.

โWe canโt just be mopping up the mess on the floor without thinking about turning the faucet off,โ said Patz, a professor of health and the environment. โSo we need prevention at different levels. We need better cooling and protecting vulnerable populations from inevitable increased frequency and extreme heat waves. But we also need to go to the root of the problem and absolutely address the burning of fossil fuels.โ

Big Oil has spent decades putting profits over people while fueling the climate crisis. Talk about a villain origin story.
But hereโs the plot twist. We have the ability to fight back and build a future beyond fossil fuels.
Big Oil doesn't get to write the ending. You do. Take action: https://t.co/Mp8uN0HRAV
A ghost pretending to be scary? Cute.
A fossil fuel company pretending to be climate-friendly while expanding fossil fuel production? Now THAT'S terrifying. ๐ป

We're bringing together two people who know a thing or two about turning climate awareness into action.
Our founder Al Gore is sitting down with the incredible Wanjira Mathai, managing director for Africa and Global Partnerships at the World Resources Institute. From leading Kenya's Green Belt Movement to championing community-led climate solutions, Wanjira has spent her career helping turn environmental advocacy into meaningful change.
Join them at #COP31 on November 12 for a special conversation about 20 years since โAn Inconvenient Truth,โ what we've accomplished, and the challenges ahead. They'll also be joined by dynamic young activists, bringing their own unique perspectives to the discussion about what comes next.

Wait, so who exactly is this supposed to help? ๐
โIf you do the analysis right, we found that revoking these standards does not save consumers money,โ said Christopher Knittel, a professor of energy economics at MIT.

Some things are worth ghosting. Fossil fuels top our list. ๐ป What's on yours?
Special shoutout to our amazing staffers Ben and Regina for taking ghosting to the streets of DC! ๐
If fall weather feels a little off this year, El Niรฑo may be part of the reason. Add climate change to the mix, and the season could bring more extremes than usual.
Hear more from our resident science and solutions expert โ and official-unofficial weathercaster โ Ryan! #ElNino #Fall #FallSeason
For Dr. Susan Pacheco, one movie changed everything. After seeing โAn Inconvenient Truthโ in 2006, she dedicated her career to showing that the climate crisis is also a health crisis. Twenty years later, sheโs still #MeetingTheMoment.

Climate progress is happening. It just doesn't always make the news. Fixing the Planet is a new digital series from @BBCEarth and @speedandscale. Across 15 short films, it follows the people and ideas driving climate progress, from seagrass restorers in the UK to moms in Pittsburgh fighting for cleaner school buses.
