SINCE THAT TIME, THE ALLIANCE HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AND ACCEPT THE CLEAR CHALLENGE TO RECRUIT A CRITICAL MASS OF CITIZENS FROM AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF PEOPLE AROUND THE GLOBE WHO ACCEPT THE REALITY OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS AND TRANSFORM THEM INTO ADVOCATES WHO DEMAND URGENT ACTION TO SOLVE THE CRISIS AND SEIZE THE EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES IT PRESENTS FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE WITH PEACE AND PROSPERITY. ITS MISSION IS TO CATALYZE A GLOBAL SOLUTION TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS BY MAKING URGENT ACTION A NECESSITY ACROSS EVERY LEVEL OF SOCIETY.THE ALLIANCE STRIVES TO BE A STORYTELLER OF CLIMATE CHANGE BY CONNECTING LIVELY SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH WITH ENGAGING BLOGS, WEBINARS, CHATS, AND OTHER CONTENT TO TRANSLATE ABSTRACT SCIENCE INTO DAILY REALITIES AND MAKE CLIMATE MATTER TO COMMUNITIES AROUND THE PLANET. AS PEOPLE COME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT CLIMATE CHANGE MEANS FOR THEM, THEY WANT TO TAKE ACTION. AND BY CREATING GRAPHICS, POSTS, AND OTHER MEDIA, THAT ALLIANCE SUPPORTERS CAN EASILY ADAPT AND SHARE WITH THEIR NETWORKS, ONLINE AUDIENCES ARE TRANSFORMED INTO OFFLINE ACTIVISTS EVERYWHERE, BUILDING A POWERFUL MOVEMENT FOR CLIMATE SOLUTIONS. OUR WEBSITE IS HTTPS://WWW.CLIMATEREALITYPROJECT.ORGFOR THE YEAR 2015, THE ALLIANCE FOR CLIMATE PROTECTION, DBA THE CLIMATE REALITY PROJECT, DOES NOT MEET THE SAFE HARBOR TEST FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT (33 1/3%), HOWEVER, IN ALL WAYS THE ORGANIZATION ACTS AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION. THE CLIMATE CRISIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW ISSUE THAT REQUIRES EXTENSIVE INFORMATION AND EDUCATION OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THERE HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT EFFORT EXPENDED IN RECENT YEARS TO EXPAND OUR SUPPORT BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, HOWEVER MUCH OF OUR TARGET AUDIENCE, ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG, DO NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL RESOURCES. NONETHELESS, WE RECEIVED OVER 2,350 INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS IN 2015.

WITH COP 21 ON THE HORIZON, WE TIMED THE 2015 BROADCAST TO COME TWO WEEKS BEFORE TALKS BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 13-14 AND BRING MILLIONS TOGETHER TO CALL FOR A STRONG AGREEMENT, ENSURING MAXIMUM VISIBILITY FOR THE EVENT AND PRESSURE ON NEGOTIATORS. AND TO BRING THE GLOBAL MUSICAL COMMUNITY INTO THE EVENT AND BUILD BUZZ AND ATTENTION, WE PARTNERED WITH LEGENDARY CONCERT PRODUCERS LIVE EARTH. THE RESULT WAS 24 HOURS OF REALITY AND LIVE EARTH: THE WORLD IS WATCHING, A DAY OF MUSIC AND ACTION AROUND THE PLANET. WE DESIGNED THE PROGRAM TO BEGIN IN OUR HOST BASE IN PARIS BEFORE TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD WITH SEGMENTS BROADCAST LIVE FROM STUDIOS IN CAPE TOWN, RIO DE JANEIRO, CALGARY, MIAMI, DELHI, SYDNEY, AND BEIJING. FOR 24 HOURS, WE PLANNED TO FEATURE STORIES OF LOCAL CLIMATE ACTION, CONCERT PERFORMANCES BY MARQUEE NAMES FROM ELTON JOHN TO MUMFORD AND SONS, AND DISCUSSIONS WITH POLITICAL LEADERS AND INFLUENCERS FROM FRENCH PRESIDENT FRAN OIS HOLLANDE TO RYAN REYNOLDS. ALL COMBINING TO RAISE ANTICIPATION FOR COP 21 TO A FEVER PITCH WHILE GIVING THE MILLIONS WATCHING A WAY TO HELP SHAPE NEGOTIATIONS BY ADDING THEIR NAMES TO THE ROAD TO PARIS PETITION. ALONG WITH STUDIO DISCUSSIONS, STORIES, AND MUSICAL PERFORMANCES, A DYNAMIC ONLINE PROGRAM GAVE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE A WAY TO JOIN THE DISCUSSION AND TAKE THE CONVERSATION ON CLIMATE SOLUTIONS FORWARD THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. IN ADDITION, WE BROUGHT TOGETHER A TRULY GLOBAL GROUP OF MEDIA PARTNERS TO STREAM, BROADCAST, AND DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM TO AUDIENCES EVERYWHERE, OPENING THE DOOR FOR THE BIGGEST 24 HOURS OF REALITY YET. THIS WAS OUR PLAN. THEN, FOUR HOURS INTO THE WORLD IS WATCHING, TRAGEDY STRUCK AS TERRORISTS ATTACKED OUR HOST CITY OF PARIS, AND THE ONLY APPROPRIATE COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO SUSPEND THE PROGRAM OUT OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE CITY AND FRANCE AS A NATION.WE JOINED THE WORLD IN MOURNING THE ATTACKS ON PARIS AND IN THE WEEKS THAT FOLLOWED, CREATED A TWO-HOUR SPECIAL VERSION OF THE WORLD IS WATCHING THAT BROUGHT THE MESSAGE OF HOPE AND CALL FOR ACTION TO OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE THROUGH OUR INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS.

AND IT HAD TO BE A WAY OPEN TO ANYONE, ANYWHERE, TRANSLATING EASILY ACROSS LINES OF CULTURE AND LANGUAGE.OUR SOLUTION WAS TO CREATE A GLOBAL PETITION TO WORLD LEADERS HEADING TO PARIS WITH A SINGLE, CLEAR MESSAGE: TAKE CLIMATE ACTION NOW.WITH THE PETITION AS THE ROAD TO PARIS' UNIFIED CALL TO AND TOOL FOR ACTION, WE FOCUSED CLIMATE REALITY'S INITIATIVES AND OUTREACH ACROSS PLATFORMS AND CHANNELS ON SHARING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO INFLUENCE COP 21 AND SECURING SIGNATURES. WE SOUGHT TO MAKE THE ROAD TO PARIS PETITION ONE OF THE LARGEST CLIMATE EFFORTS IN HISTORY AND DEMONSTRATE THE EXTRAORDINARY BREADTH AND DEPTH OF SUPPORT FOR ACTION TO NEGOTIATORS IN PARIS.BY WORKING WITH FRIENDS AND PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE CLIMATE COMMUNITY, WE BROUGHT TOGETHER OVER 2.2 MILLION PEOPLE TO CALL OUT FOR ACTION IN PARIS. THEN, IN THE CLOSING DAYS OF COP 21, FORMER VICE PRESIDENT GORE AND CLIMATE REALITY PRESIDENT KEN BERLIN JOINED THE LEADERS OF AVAAZ, SIERRA CLUB, 350.ORG, GUARDIANS OF THE EARTH, CAN INTERNATIONAL, GREENPEACE, AND MANY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN ADDING THE NAMES OF OUR SUPPORTERS TO A GLOBAL GROUP OF 6.2 MILLION DEMANDING ACTION, GENERATING TREMENDOUS PRESSURE ON LEADERS TO REACH A BOLD AGREEMENT AT THE MOMENT WHEN IT WAS NEEDED MOST.

WHAT DISTINGUISHES THESE EVENTS IS CSN'S COMMITMENT TO CONNECTING THE REALITY OF CLIMATE CHANGE WITH THE DAILY LIVES OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH THE POWER OF PERSONAL STORIES - AND TRAINING CLIMATE SPEAKERS TO DO THE SAME.
