Al Gore’s Grassroots Fight. The former vice president hopes to win hearts and minds ahead of the Paris climate talks.

The National Journal reports:

In India, Aditya Pundir is training teachers to talk to middle school, high school, and college students about climate change.

In Brazil, Roberto Vámos is meeting with high-ranking government officials to push for a strong pledge to cut greenhouse-gas emissions.

In Australia, Adam Majcher is laying the groundwork for major rallies calling for action on climate change.

All three work for Al Gore.

Climate Reality Project, Gore's green group, is recruiting activists in eight countries expected to play a key role at a major climate summit in Paris later this year. The group hopes that each country will sharply curb greenhouse-gas emissions by signing onto an international agreement to stave off the most devastating impacts of global warming.
