Former US vice president and leading environmental advocate Al Gore will deliver a talk on climate change in Asia this afternoon at the SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia. Gore will present the updated Asian version of ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ the provocative multi-media presentation on the threat of climate change and solutions to global warming and the subject of the movie of the same title, which has won critical and box-office acclaim. Gore’s visit is hosted by SM Prime Holdings, the Philippines largest mall developer and operator, as part of a series of activities aimed at raising public awareness on the importance of eco-friendly living.

Gore’s talk, themed ‘The Leader as Environment Steward,’ is being held in partnership with Campaigns & Grey and The Philippine STAR. It is the third staging of the Leadership Conference Series – the first featured former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for ‘The Leader in Tunes of Crisis’, and the second former United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair for the ‘The Leader as Principled Negotiator.’
