Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore to host live, 24-hour
broadcast on climate change; Intelsat provides global contribution
and distribution services
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first
Globalized Network and leader in integrated satellite
communications is providing global communications services for The
Climate Reality Project’s “24 Hours of Reality: Be the Voice of
Reality” live broadcast. Intelsat’s contribution services will be
used to uplink video featuring performances and leaders from around
the world. Intelsat’s distribution services will be used to reach
millions of people globally via the Intelsat 19, Intelsat 20,
Intelsat 34, Intelsat 905 and Galaxy 17 satellites.
The live event, hosted by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore,
will begin today, Dec. 4 at 6 p.m. EST. During each hour of the
program, regional climate experts will highlight stories of climate
activism in six regions, including North America, Oceania, the
Middle East and Africa, Europe, and Central and South America. The
event will also feature conversations with political leaders,
thought leaders, climate scientists and cultural icons, as well as
musical performances and short films.
In its seventh year of supporting The Climate Reality Project,
Intelsat will use its Globalized Network, which includes its
satellite network and IntelsatOne terrestrial services. Intelsat
will contribute video from multiple locations worldwide, and
support the broadcast of the event to more than 100 countries via
traditional platforms such as Telemundo, France 24, SKY, PhoenixTV,
and iHeartRadio.
“Climate Reality is grateful for Intelsat’s support for this
year’s 24 Hours of Reality broadcast,” said Stacie Paxton Cobos,
Climate Reality’s Senior Vice President of Communications and
Marketing. “24 Hours of Reality: Be the Voice of Reality will
showcase activism around the globe with the goal of inspiring
millions to take action to solve the climate crisis. We are
thrilled to partner with Intelsat once again to reach a truly
global audience, and mobilize citizens around the world to stand up
for the health of our planet.”
“A global organization like The Climate Reality Project requires
a globalized network to ensure its message reaches people all
around the world,” said Kurt Riegelman, Intelsat’s Senior Vice
President, Sales and Marketing. “Intelsat’s expansive network and
video neighborhoods are proven platforms for reaching the largest
international audiences and are ideal for collecting video from
multiple locations. We have supported The Climate Reality Project
and the work of Vice President Al Gore on climate change since the
groundbreaking Live Earth broadcast in 2007. Our long history
working together is a testament to the breadth of Intelsat’s
globalized network and the strength and reliability of our
satellite-based contribution and distribution services.”
