TCP Goals TCP seeks to raise awareness about the urgency of the climate crisis. We hope to motivate individuals to become active participants in solving the climate crisis by:
1) Training a diverse range of citizens from numerous geographic regions and walks of life to communicate the science and impacts of climate change.
2) Engaging the public through presentations, news media, individual conversations, and grassroots advocacy and activism so that they will make informed choices about public policy matters related to climate change.
3) Promoting local, domestic and global initiatives to solve the climate crisis.
TCP presentations are available free of charge for public engagements of any size and may be requested by clicking here.
History TCP began in June 2006 as an effort to train 1,000 Americans on the effects of global warming in order to spread the message about the problem. The class of "First Fifty" presenters was trained in Nashville, Tennessee, which has since become the home of its international headquarters.
International Since then, TCP has established international branches in Australia, Canada, India, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Indonesia, and Mexico, resulting in the training of hundreds of other committed individuals.
Expansion TCP also has an official presence in Argentina, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Singapore and Turkey. New plans are being devised for trainings in Eastern and South Europe, and China.
Presenters TCP thrives as a result of the commitment, dedication, and passion of presenters to educate, encourage, and promote dialogue about climate change as well as potential solutions and policy reform. TCP's 3,000 presenters have reached a worldwide audience of more than 5 million people and its reach continues to grow. TCP Presenters come from all walks of life. They are in science, academia, government, business, civic groups, places of worship, and schools.
Faith-based Training In October 2008, TCP held its first-ever Faith Community Training session in Nashville. The program resulted in the training of an exemplary group of faith leaders to deliver a version of the TCP slide show and engage in other congregational activities geared toward combating the climate crisis.
Inconvenient Youth In 2009, TCP United States took oversight of Inconvenient Youth, a network of teens committed to educating their peers and developing activities to engage young people.
Staff Staff at TCP's international headquarters aim to support presenters in every facet of their work as climate change messengers.
