Former U.S. Vice President and Chairman of The Climate Reality Project Al Gore will lead the global broadcast of The World Is Watching, airing from 6 p.m. CET/Noon EDT, Friday, Nov. 13 to 6 p.m. CET/Noon EDT, Saturday, Nov. 14. The World Is Watching is produced by The Climate Reality Project and Live Earth, whose partnership for this fifth-annual broadcast means it will include an extraordinary artistic lineup and distribution platform to maximize its global reach.
“24 Hours of Reality and Live Earth: The World Is Watching is about making sure the people of the world are informed and engaged so that they can make their voices heard in their capitals and at the negotiating table in Paris,” said Al Gore. “The UN climate talks can be a breakthrough moment to change the dangerous course we’ve set for our planet. We want the world’s leaders to know the world is watching, and it’s time for them to act.”
