Former Vice President Al Gore reached millions of people with the message that the climate crisis is threatening the future of human civilization, and that it must, and can, be solved. OUR CHOICE is an inspiring call to action for those ready to fight for solutions that really work—including some bold initiatives that were deemed impossible only a short time ago but are now gaining support around the world. Since the publication of the New York Times bestseller An Inconvenient Truth, Mr. Gore has led more than thirty “Solutions Summits” with top scientists, engineers and policy experts to examine every solution to the climate crisis in depth.

In his lecture OUR CHOICE, Mr. Gore draws on the conclusions developed through those summits as well as on extensive independent research. He continues to make sense of the pressing issues we face and describes how the bold choices necessary to save the earth’s climate should also be the foundations of policies worldwide to create new jobs and stimulate sustainable economic progress.
