The mission of the Climate Crisis Working Group (CCWG) is to study and share information about climate change and take effective climate action in Moore County and beyond. The group's vision is to raise awareness and empower the nation, united in rapidly stemming the impact of climate change and building climate resilience in our country and across the world.

SF Climate Week 2025 kicked off with a defining moment: a powerful keynote from former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Al Gore. Speaking to a packed room at the iconic Exploratorium, Gore set the tone for the week—framing it as a pivotal moment in the fight for our climate and our democracy.
In this wide-ranging address, Gore underscores the critical connection between climate change and democracy, denounces fossil fuel disinformation, and calls on individuals, businesses, and governments to take bold, immediate action.
Why Hope Is Inseparable From Living
“Active Hope is a readiness to discover the strengths
in ourselves and in others;
a readiness to discover the reasons for hope
and the occasions for love.”
—Joanna Macy
Few words feel as readily dissected and contested today as hope. Within the narrow context of environmentalism—a strange word in and of itself that we have given to the idea that we should steward the sphere of life we call nature—the question of whether or not we have hope can be a dreaded one. In the wider realm of culture, it seems at best unfashionable, and at worst a signal that one is uninformed or unsympathetic to the suffering that plagues our world. For many years, I deflected hope. I remember giving a talk once in which I was inevitably asked about it, and I dismissed it as irrelevant. If you see a loved one in danger, you don’t hope you can help them and act depending on the feasibility of the outcome; you do what you can to help them. Therefore, I argued, love is the more worthy focus of our attention. Remind people that they love the Earth, and they will be moved to act on its behalf. Who needs hope?
