Great to see @gretathunberg at #WEF20 today. Once again, I was struck by her potent and sobering call to action. Nobody speaks truth to power as she does: “Our house is still on fire. Your inaction is fueling the flames by the hour.”
Proud to stand alongside my friend Archbishop Tutu in Cape Town today to call on corporations, governments, and institutions around the world to #divest from fossil fuels, and to invest in renewables. [Link to our statement in bio]
Over the next 24 hours, more than 1,700 grassroots activists around the world will bring the hopeful message about climate solutions to their communities for 24 Hours of Reality: #TruthIntoAction, a global day of climate action and education. @climatereality has always believed in the power of education and the importance of engaging directly with our friends, families, and neighbors to build a global coalition for climate action. That’s why I’m addressing my own community of Nashville, Tennessee at @vanderbiltu. I am honored to have the opportunity to share how we can work together to create a better future for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.

Acting to solve the climate crisis starts at the grassroots level. Young activists like @liazakiyyah, a Climate Leader in Indonesia, embodies this spirit. Lia has taken the tools she developed at our training in Manila to equip people with knowledge and resources to address the impacts of the climate crisis, and to advocate for solutions. This work is especially crucial in Indonesia, with its more than 17,000 islands with vast forests, oceans, and diverse ecosystems. I am so proud of her work with the “Youth Leadership Camp for Climate Crisis,” a flagship program for the @ClimateReality Indonesia branch, which has been mentoring more than 2,500 youths across this beautiful island nation.

This #COP25 felt different than those that came before it. There’s so much grassroots energy and momentum for climate action right now, led in large part by young people. I proudly stood alongside U.S. subnational leaders ensuring continued American leadership, presented the latest solutions to the climate crisis to conference attendees, and worked to convince government and business leaders of the opportunity of the Sustainability Revolution. My message to all: Time is running out. This is a global emergency. We need ambition that meets the moment. #WeAreStillIn #TimeforAction

The climate crisis is also a food and agriculture crisis. Farmers are suffering from the impacts every day – floods and downpours, deeper and longer droughts, heat stress affecting crop yields, and more. I strongly believe that the agriculture community can lead the solutions to this crisis. Today, there’s a farmer-led regenerative agriculture movement underway. Farmers are cultivating their land in a way that restores soil health and removes excess carbon from the atmosphere. I was in DC this week to discuss these solutions with @senatordebbiestabenow at The Foundation for Food and Agriculture’s Foster Our Future gathering, and with @chelliepingree and 30 members of the House of Representatives. Very encouraged by the seriousness and thoughtfulness these leaders are applying to these critical issues.

Today, thousands of young people across the US and around the world are leading another #ClimateStrike. Last Friday, @climatereality leaders @alexandriav2005 and @koko_malia led a strike joined by youth activists @imkevinjpatel, @jesesus_parangariquitirimiquro, and actress @thisisbwright in Santa Monica for #ClimateAction. #StrikeWithUs today to demand urgent climate action from our world leaders.
Great event this morning where I joined @TED to announce @TEDCountdown, a climate conference committed to reducing greenhouse emissions to zero. We need ALL global citizens to join the fight to solve the climate crisis. I hope you become a part of this groundbreaking initiative. #JoinTheCountdown at countdown.ted.com to find out how you can get involved.

I’m so energized by a great voter registration event @TexasSouthern today. Together with @climaterealityactionfund, I’ve launched a new campaign to encourage young voters to register and turn out to vote on climate this November. This election is make or break for action on the climate crisis. Thanks to my friend Dr. Robert Bullard and the student leaders for helping to organize this effort.
