Nobody has done more to wake us up to the threats of climate change than former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore. Despite the urgency of the climate crisis, Gore is resoundingly optimistic about the future because of the next generation of problem-solvers like JUST Water co-founder, Jaden Smith, heeding the call to action and creating businesses, technologies, and social movements that alter humanity’s relationship to the planet.
Gore and Smith took the stage together for the first time ever at LA18 to address the realities of climate change. They detail essential reforms for improving our global energy system, discuss the importance of a meritocratic virtual public square, and explore the sustainability movement’s impact on financial markets. Above all, they stress the belief in the power of the greatest renewable resource we have – our political will.
