  The Alliance for Climate ProtectionThe Alliance is a new organization engaged in an unprecedented public education campaign on both the urgency and the solvability of the climate crisis. Building on the momentum of "An Inconvenient Truth," our objective is to persuade individuals, communities, states, and corporations across the world to begin to quickly reduce their own greenhouse pollution in order to become "carbon neutral." Furthermore, The Alliance is working to move the USA past a tipping point, beyond which political and business leaders and all sectors of civil society compete to offer policies and programs that will sharply reduce emissions. Through an innovative combination of communication platforms -- like Live Earth -- and an influential collection of supporters that includes the environmental community, key leaders in business, the entertainment industry, hunters, labor and many others, the Alliance will reach new audiences that until now have not engaged in solving the climate crisis. Partnering with SOS-Live Earth is the Alliance's first major public project.   The Climate GroupThe Climate Group is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing business and government leadership on climate change. We are based in the US, UK and Australia and we operate internationally. The Climate Group convened last summer's roundtable discussion with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Prime Minister Tony Blair and a select group of prominent CEOs and business leaders from leading California and international companies to share ideas on how business and government can work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The roundtable resulted in a historic cooperation agreement between the UK and California to advance the deployment of clean energy and clean technologies and a Leadership Statement on Climate Change signed by twelve of the participating CEOs.  I CountI Count is the campaign of the Stop Climate Chaos coalition, which brings together over 50 of the UK's most respected organisations passionate about climate change. With a combined experience of over 700 years and a supporter base of 4 million plus, the campaign is showing the public and politicians that climate change is not too big a problem to fix. The campaign has created a range of compelling ways to inspire individuals to reduce their carbon footprint in work, rest and play and a public platform to demand the UK government keep within the widely accepted global warming danger threshold of 2 degrees C. As the Non Governmental Organisation partner for LIVE EARTH UK, I Count will transform all the awareness and excitement generated by the concert, into individual action and positive pressure on politicians.
