Additionally, they are working to persuade individuals and society to take measures based on scientific facts from research.

Former Vice President and presidential candidate Al Gore, who has been famously outspoken about the dangers of climate change, is the chairman of the board and brings over thirty years of experience to the table.

The Alliance for Climate Protection works within three arenas to focus and disseminate their message. They work with government offices, business communities, and society at large. The Alliance for Climate Protection is dedicated to non-partisan coverage of the issues in order to push through unnecessary political roadblocks and background noise, and instead focuses all of their attention on working together to make the world a better place.

The Alliance for Climate Protection spells out its main goals as follows:

1. Working toward bi-partisan political efforts to create new climate-friendly proposals to reduce CO2 and methane emissions and other greenhouse pollutants. This task is addressed within the Alliance through persuasive education techniques. The Alliance for Climate Protection works to generate wide-ranging support for climate-protection efforts in order that political entities will work sincerely to generate viable solutions. 2. Pushing for United States participation in the creation of a global treaty to reduce greenhouse emissions and pollution. 3. Persuading individuals at all levels to reduce their own carbon footprint and greenhouse emissions.

It is clear that The Alliance for Climate Protection's main weapon in the fight against climate crisis is collaboration. A grassroots dynamic is cultivated within the organization through their collaborative education and coalition-building efforts. The Alliance believes that working with a diversity of groups across political and social lines is the most effective means to meet shared environmental protection objectives.
