In this urgent and hard-hitting talk, Nobel Laureate Al Gore thoroughly dismantles the fossil fuel industry’s narrative of "climate realism," contrasting their misleading claims with the remarkable advancements in renewable energy. Drawing on data showing clear signs of progress across the world, Gore makes a powerful case that we already have everything needed to solve the climate crisis — and reminds us of what the most valuable renewable resource actually is. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 16, 2025) Countdown is TED's global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world.

Curated in partnership with Visit Philadelphia, Highmark Health, Bank of America and Comcast NBCUniversal. Travel has the power to change not only how we see the world but also how we participate in it. This playlist explores the deep emotional impact of movement, place and cultural exchange, offering a global perspective on how food, art and cities shape our understanding of one another. At its core is a belief in human connection: that empathy, civic imagination and a sense of belonging can be sparked by the simple act of stepping into a new space. These ideas resonate with Philadelphia’s legacy as a city built on revolutionary ideals and shared experiences — a place where visitors often return, not just to see, but to feel.
